This is a debatable list, feel free to tell me what you agree and disagree with. Also, watch the videos I tag the people with. They'll give you an idea of why they earn their spot.
10. Charlie JoinerJoiner was a different kind of receiver. Almost more than he was athletic, he was intelligent. He knew where his defenders were and he figured out how to avoid them. He made some sick catches too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpfXKjQrXj08. Michael IrvinIrvin made those impossible randymoss-style catches...just not as many of them, which is why he isn't higher up. He's also one of those receivers who didn't have much going for him. He didn't put up ridiculous stats, but just... damn.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVsMArg-bkM 7. Calvin JohnsonCalvin would be much higher on this list if he wasn't relatively new to the league. Receivers are usually fast, but not noticeably strong or intimidating. Johnson is a monster of a man standing at 6'5 and 235 pounds, he's also faster than most receivers in the league. It's also surprising he hasn't broken a defenders neck with one of his stiff arms yet. Needless to say, CJ is one of the only receivers who is actually scary to play against. Defensive coordinators create new plays to cover him, you'll often see 3 players trying to prevent him from catching the ball (he still does). I'm not making this up, google it holmes. Enough talking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6nRcoBfunM5. Steve LargentSteve Largent isn't very fast. He's a pretty small guy. He can't jump that high either. He has almost everything against him when it comes to receiving, so how is he this high on the list? I'm not sure. He doesn't get far once he catches the ball, but boy does he catch the ball. He catches it a lot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLKSbeItlVs4. Randy MossRandy Moss is kind of annoying, but I think the Patriots are okay with that. He has a lot of catches much like the one in the video below, but I just wanted to include one for time's sake.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLq3SWnhgUE3. Terrell OwensA lot of people don't like Terrell Owens. I like Terrell Owens.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91yHsjwhNjI2. Chris CarterThey say he was born with magnets lodged inside his hands. The doctors tried to get them out but sadly it was something he had to live with his entire life.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xu9SgfabTU1. Jerry RiceI don't need to talk about him much, just watch him make some professional NFL players look like 10 year olds trying to learn peewee football.
