5 best No. 6 overall picks in NFL Draft history
4. WR Torry Holt
Torry Holt is not talked about nearly enough when it comes to great wide receivers in NFL history. That's probably the cost of playing at the same time with guys like Randy Moss and Terrell Owens. However, Holt's career and ability can go toe-to-toe with just about any other receiver out there.
In 11 seasons, he was a seven time Pro Bowler, an All Pro three times, led the league in receiving yards twice and led the league in receptions in 2003. He also has what the rest of these guys on the list don't: a Super Bowl Ring. Holt has somehow not gotten the nod to the Hall of Fame, but hopefully that day is coming soon.
He is in the Top 50 in NFL history in receiving touchdowns and is in the Top 20 in career receiving yards. There isn't anything else Holt can have on his resume - he deserves to be in Canton. He wasn't the flashiest, he wasn't the loudest, but he quietly had one of the best receiver careers we've seen and was a top receiver of his era. All of that started when he was drafted at No. 6.
