He averaged under 9.7 yards per catch for 593 yards as a WR. Giovani Bernard averaged 9.6 yards per catch on 472 yards as a RB in 2015.
DeSean Jackson averaged 22.5 yards per catch in 2010.
I'd actually argue Randall Cobb probably also doesn't belong on that list. Cobb is a #2 who failed as a #1 when Jordy Nelson was out.
Emmanuel Sanders... I am not 100% sure if he'd succeed as a #1, but the fact is he's done all his work as a #2 behind Demaryius Thomas and put up less numbers than him in each of their three years together. I think he might fall under the TJ Housh/Eric Decker category of being a great #2, but probably not #1 material.

That said, I agree with DeSean Jackson, Brandin Cooks, Doug Baldwin, and I would add TY Hilton to your list.
