DeVonta Smith, Amari Cooper top Alabama all-time leading receivers

Throughout the storied history of the Alabama Crimson Tide football program, there has no been shortage of talent at the receiver position.

For example, Alabama has seen a wide receiver win the Heisman Trophy before, along with others win the Biletnikoff Award, which is presented annually to college football’s top wide receiver. The Crimson Tide have also placed many wide receivers into the NFL over the years as well, a lengthy list that includes multiple first round picks.

Brown’s best season with the Crimson Tide was likely his 2005 sophomore campaign in which he hauled in 34 receptions for a career-high 642 yards and four scores, but an argument can likely be made his 2006 as well.
