How about this guy Donald Rogers Maynard he was fighting with Alworth for the right to be the DON HUTSON of the '60s.
Wow you go away back.

Roger Carr was fast Baltimore Colts

Fred Bilitnkoff - Raiders was a good one

All in all, not really that many
I do my history when it comes to White WRs he could have been in the '58 NFC TITLE GAME vs the Colts had it not been for that IDIOT ALLIE SHERMAN he wanted Maynard to shave his sideburns but Maynard had that REBELLIOUS STREAK come out smoking against him and said if you don't like it TRADE ME and they did to the CFL Canadian Football League then the Jets found him and off he went to make history.Carr was the DON HUTSON of the '70s he was said to have been a 9.35 for the 100 yd dash.Biletnikoff was the FATHER OF STICKUM as everyone knows.The Raiders had a guy who was a deep ball threat Mike Sinani but he didn't stay healthy enough to be a consistent player.Most White WRs are unfairly labeled as UNATHLETIC POSSESSION WRs which is why I say if white guys want to play the position of WR they should have a Track&Field Background to shoot down all those accusations of being called slow.

A lot of those yards were on one big play and it actually look like he pushed the UC Davis receiver down

But yeah, he is a talent
I saw that play I don't think he pushed off he used his size to take advantage of the DB.I want to see how fast he is in the 40.
I saw that play in slow motion and you might have a point of him pushing off to gain separation away from the DB but we were not wearing stripes on the field.

Good history

I remember the name Don Maynard and definitely remember Villanova product Mike Siani with the Raiders in the early 70’s

Jimmy Cefalo - Penn State to Dolphins

Someone on social media mentioned Sinani to me saying that he was a deep ball threat but he couldn't stay healthy and they got their hands on CLIFF BRANCH in the early '70s.What happened to Warren Wells if Darryl LaMonica was around in the '70s he should have been there as well.Maynard kept on trucking in the '70s as well along with Lance Alworth.

Cliff Branch was the real deal

Lamonica didn’t seem to be around that long before Kenny Stabler replaced him

I loved the NFL back in those days but haven’t really followed it very closely for decades

The last Super Bowl I watched was the one Joe Flacco won for the Colts, and probably only a few since the 90s

Oh wait a minute I watched the Rams about five years ago

The first one I remember watching was Super Bowl IV
Chiefs and Vikings

I don’t actually remember the game, but I remember all the media hub about Joe Willy Namath and Jets beating the Colts

I was told that LaMonica was a 2x Pro Bowler in the '70s before he was replaced by Stabler.Someone said Davis was upset with him because of his penchant to throw PICK 6S

That doesn't surprise me. The history books show that Lamonica never learned how to read a zone defense. It's definitely a bad look when you get benched in favor of a 48-year-old kicker who bails the team out for a win or a tie FIVE GAMES IN A ROW. Particularly when said kicker looks like a cadaver....

Yes. Where do you think he learned how to pick a zone defense apart? He was getting his lessons as the zone was developed....
