1996 NFL Draft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1996 NFL Draft was one of the best draft classes ever for the position of Wide Receiver. Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Eddie Kennison, Marvin Harrison, Eric Moulds, Terrell Owens, Muhsin Muhammad, Amani Toomer, and Joe Horn have all achieved success in the pros, with all except Kennison and Toomer having reached the Pro Bowl at least once, and a total of 26 Pro Bowl appearances for the group. In addition to the class having had several successful receivers, none of the five wide receivers drafted in the first round have been busts, as all of them are currently starters in the NFL.
