Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just sayin': Here's my new list.
1.a. Chris Carter
1.b. Marvin Harrison, Jr.
3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
4. Ted Ginn, Jr
5. David Boston
6. Terry Glenn
7. Joey Galloway
8. Chris Olave
9. Garrett Wilson
10. Michael Jenkins
Honorable mention: Gary Williams (he caught a pass in 48 consecutive games).
Honorable mention: Paul Warfield (yeah, I know he was technically a RB at Ohio State and only caught 39 passes; but anyone in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a WR deserves a mention).

As another Buckeye in the NFL Hall of Fame as a WR, Dante Lavelli also deserves Honorable mention.

These lists all depend on who you watched growing up or recent timelines. What is the infatuation to list people in a proper order? They were all damn good and damn good Buckeyes.

100% These people never even seen Terry Glenn let alone Carter, Warfield and others.
We've seen an amazing run of Buckeye brilliance in the league lately but those guys in the past were brilliant and we hardly ever featured the passing game.

I like these lists primarily because they jog up all the good memories of the respective players in my mind, and I hear about players that were before my time or recollection. Ranking our best WRs is a tall task when you've had so many greats come through, so there is PLENTY of room for debate. So with that preface, my top 10 list after MH Jr just pro is as follows:
1. MH Jr - That's based on amazing talent, work ethic and results. It is not because of recent bias, he is seriously the best I have watched at OSU.
2. Cris Carter - Before my time but numbers don't lie and he did what he did in a time where we didn't throw the ball so much. First consensus All American at WR and absolute legend.
3. Joey Galloway - Absolute stud and one of my first Buckeye legends I can remember vividly watching.
4. David Boston - Enough said with him, he is on the top 10 list without a doubt.
5. Teddy Ginn - He's up here for electricity, but also had very good production when you factor in return skills. I remember watching him commit at the AA game to us and all the huge returns/big receptions where I just can't remember a faster Buckeye. I played RB/WR and returned kicks/punts in high school when he played and I studied his every move in working on my game.
6. Chris Olave - Could easily have him anywhere above really. Wolverine slayer, massive producer, and absolute team player. Plus he's put together quite the career so far as a professional, but I put him here based on what he did in Columbus.
7. Anthony Gonzales - Guy was insanely good and also a Wolverine slayer. Pro career was only cut short because of injury, which bums me out because he would've killed it in the NFL imo. Also had a hyperbolic egg chamber he slept in, so that's cool (not actually factoring that in, but it made me laugh remembering that).
8. Michael Jenkins - Another you could move up on the list, but he deserves to be on the list. Of course Holy Buckeye was his iconic moment, but lets not forget his crucial 4th down catch from Krenzel against Miami, if we don't have that then we don't have a Natty that year. There was a lot of production with Jenkins, but he was just clutch as it could get.
9. Garrett Wilson - Insanely talented and produced in droves. Just wish we had him longer than we did, but he is showing his talent in the NFL big time.
10. Michael Thomas - His production was huge and he made a lot of big plays. Not the flashiest guy, but man did he get the job done and he was a big part in getting us a Natty. Big moments count when you look at the whole picture.
On Warfield - Wayyyyyyy before my time, so I cannot do anything except read his history. Apparently he was a RB and the Browns converted him to WR. His rushing and overall stats were not really that great at OSU, then he had a great career at WR. But he was a first round draft pick and HOF guy at the next level, so someone with more knowledge than me can fill me in on why he wasn't big on the stat sheets at OSU.
Honorable mention to Chris Gamble - And maybe this applies to Warfield's career at OSU, but his stats don't really show his true value he had to our team. He was literally doing everything out there and made huge plays for us at WR (in addition to CB/kick and punt returns).
