SEC Football: 35 Best NFL players from SEC teams
A.J. Green has been one of the best wide receivers in the NFL since the Cincinnati Bengals spend the No. 4 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft on the former Georgia standout. Green has eclipsed the 1,000-yard plateau in his first five seasons with at least 65 receptions and six touchdowns.
The five-time Pro Bowl selection had his best year in 2013 when he set career-highs with 98 receptions for 1,426 yards and equaled his career-high with 11 touchdowns. He had 86 receptions for 1,297 and 10 touchdowns last year.
Green’s 81.2 receiving yards per game for his career ranks as the fourth-best mark in NFL history, behind Julio Jones, Calvin Johnson and Antonio Brown. With another five years like his first five, Green should merit Hall of Fame consideration.
