Green is great-but is he really ELITE?

[CJD]

AJ Green is, in my opinion, either #5 or #6, depending on how you look at the receivers.

Julio Jones, Odell Beckham, Calvin Johnson and Antonio Brown are, in my opinion, better than him. Then you have Deandre Hopkins that does more with less than any other receiver in the game. It makes you curious what he'd do if he had a competent QB throwing to him.

Then, in my mind, you have AJ who is better than Hopkins, but also has way more talent around him that Hopkins, so it's hard to judge them.


This conversation about Green comes up every time he makes a bad play or drops a critical pass, but the truth is no receiver is perfect.

You don't make the pro bowl in every single year you're in the NFL if you aren't elite. I know it's a popularity contest, but he's popular for a reason.
