So I'm looking up 2000s ('00-'09) WRs and we've got Crabtree, Fitzgerald, Dez Bryant, and others.  Then I see a guy I've never heard of.




Danario Alexander - Missori
2009:  113 catches for 1,781 yards and 14 TD



Why don't I recall this guy, at all?  I'm 100% knowledgeable on everyone else with numbers anywhere near these (remember, P5-only) and this guy - I haven't a whisper of familiarity.


Anybody else know of him?

For anyone who cares, this is what I mean when it comes to popular vs production:
Sacks for 2000s players.  
Von Miller is #1, great.  
The next 3 are '07 Middleton (IU), '09 Sharpe (TTU), and '05 Evans (MissSt).  Basically anonymous dudes.
The next 3 are '05 Mario Williams (NCST, #1 pick), '07 Vernon Gholston (OSU), and '07 Long (UVA).  Name dudes.



So if i'm producing a game and wanting it to sell, I include Miller, Williams, Ghoston, and maybe Long, right?  They only had 1-2 fewer sacks than the random guys.  It makes sense.



I'm doing it with the INT players, too.  Instead of Rahim Moore and Bullocks from Nebraska, I include Sean Taylor and Ed Reed from Miami.  Name recognition matters here, right?

Tough group to choose from in 2000s kickers:
Kaeding was great, but Nugent might've been better.  ASU's Weber had the best year, as a FR no less, but then Kai Forbath probably had the best leg.



What to do.....

Top 15 Single-Season Receiving Yardage Totals (2000-2009)

2.  2009 Alexander (MIZ)
3.  2001 Reed (LSU)
4.  2002 Woods (OKST)
5.  2003 Fitzgerald (Pitt)
6.  2007 Nelson (KSU)
7.  2001 Evans (Wis)

Now again, it's solely P5 guys, but that's an impressive list, and tough to choose six from.
