1. AJ Green (He needs to get back to fighting for contested balls more, and diving for the touch catch. He fought like Hell for contested balls until he got hurt doing it against Pittsburgh his rookie year. Since then, I think he's gotten gun shy... He also used to dive for balls until the injury scare during of the 2013 training camp.)
2. Isaac Curtis (This guy was insane to watch. The stats are tough to get excited about because it was a different era of football, but he was amazing. He is the reason Ken Anderson has the stats to knock on the door of the Hall of Fame.)
3. Chad Johnson (Perhaps the most gifted receiver in Bengals history, but realized slightly less of his potential... He was a big kid at heart. He loved the diving catch too much, and didn't have the focus to be more precise in his routes. The guy could outrun anyone, and catch anything with his fingertips. He just didn't always do what he was supposed to, and I'd swear he adjusted routes for the drama of a diving catch.)
4. Carl Pickens (Spectacularly gifted hands, route running, and leaping ability. The losing was too much, though. Kind of a selfish jerk... Would have been cool to have seen if he would have been a better team player in a different era of the organization)
5. Cris Collinsworth (Honestly, the least physically gifted of these receivers. He was the Puritan work ethic poster child, though. Worked harder, studied more, and did what he could do with Swiss precision.)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I agree with this list. They were all great WR's for us or would not be mentioned
