Chad Johnson and AJ Green… “this close”

[Bengalbug]

With Andre Johnson getting in the HOF this year, we had two players on our team that, at their peak, went toe to toe with Andre Johnson.

Andre Johnson CLEARLY has the lead in career receiving yards 14,185 to Chad’s 11,059 and AJs 10,514.

Andre Johnson had 70 TDS to 67 for Chad and 70 for AJ.

However… Andre Johnson played 193 games vs 166 and 158 respectively.

Andre has 4 total all pros (two first team, two second team), to chads four (three first and one second), and Ajs two, both second team.

Andre was a 7 time pro bowler, to 6 for Chad and 7 for AJ.

Andre is 11th all time in receiving yards, Chad is 40th and AJ is 48th. This does include tight ends.

If they both just had a few more seasons of good production, we could have two more hall of famers. But with the league changing to a receiving league, they will continually get pushed down the list. Davante, Tyreek, Keenan Allen, Amari cooper and Diggs will likely be above Chad this year or next. They will hold their for a few years, but there are just so many players above Chad and AJ.

The only case for Chad would be what his impact was for a historically bad franchise and making the bengals, and NFL, cool.
