Who Is the Buckeyes' Greatest Wide Receiver?

[LoKyBuckeye]

Cris Carter, David Boston, Joey Galloway and Mike Jenkins. MJ was too clutch over the last few years to be left off my list.

I knew carter would be right up there and no denying it.He was one of the best but i had to throw in a vote for good ole Mike Lanese. He sure was intense and yet had a great pair of hands and made some unbelievable catches in his day.

Where the hell is Warfield in this sham of a poll?

Umm, since Warfield was a halfback at OSU, he ain't here - check the "athlete" poll instead.

includes a factor of difficulty separating NFL performance from collegiate performance... wonder how many members actually experienced watching most of these candidates live.. vs just hearing their reputations

In case you are interested you can see the list of Ohio State's receiving statistics at: http://www.cstv.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_chools/osu/sports/m-footbl/auto_pdf/records
then go to page 4.

In the "Athlete" poll - BP Poll - Athletes

Warfield played halfback at Ohio State, and he had limited chances as a pass catcher - he led the team in receiving in 1962 (8 catches, 139 yards) and 1963 (22 catches, 266 yards).

Though he may not qualify as the best, I must give my favorite all-time Buckeye receiver some props....Bobby Olive was the man. From walk-on to star wideout, the guy played with poise dignity and honor. He was a true buckeye.

As for best, I'd have to go with Boston. He had an amazing college career. As a person, i dont have much respect for the guy, but as a Buckeye, he was amazing. He also had a great college QB getting him the ball.

Obviously, Carter was the most "special" receiver we've had. He just didnt have the time as a Buckeye.
