5 Best Wide Receivers in Miami Dolphins History

Putting Hill over Chambers is a bold move, and we’ll explain more shortly. A 2001 second-round pick, the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Chambers had 405 catches, 5,688 yards, and 43 touchdowns over his seven years in Miami. 

Chambers reached the 2005 Pro Bowl with 82 catches, 1,118 yards, and 11 touchdowns, the first two of which were career highs. For most teams, he would have been a fine No. 2 receiver, which the Chargers hoped to get in 2007. No such luck. 

4. Tyreek Hill (2022-2025) 

Alright, here we go. Hill ranks ninth in catches, seventh in receiving yards, and seventh in touchdowns, so what landed him a spot over the likes of Jarvis Landry or Paul Warfield?

Did you watch Hill during his time in Miami?

In his first two seasons alone, Hill had 238 catches for 3,509 yards and 20 touchdowns. Although his numbers dipped in 2024, he still had 81 receptions and 959 yards.

Had he not gotten hurt in 2025, Hill was on pace for another 90 catches and 1,127 yards. Yeah, that’s worthy of No. 4.

3. Nat Moore (1974-1986)

The fact that the 1980s Dolphins never won a Super Bowl with Marino, Moore, Duper, and Clayton is certainly something. Even in the twilight of his career, Moore remained a steady contributor, albeit one who never topped 1,000 yards over his 13 seasons. 

Moore finished with 510 catches, 7,546 yards, and 74 touchdowns, the last of which trails only Clayton on the Dolphins’ all-time list. His lone Pro Bowl and All-Pro nod came in 1977, when he had a career-high 52 catches, 765 yards, and an NFL-leading 12 touchdowns.

2. Mark Duper (1982-1992)

Although Duper finished No. 2 here, the gap between him and Clayton isn’t overly large. In fact, Duper narrowly holds the receiving edge over Clayton, finishing with 8,869 to the latter’s 8,643. Remarkable, isn’t it?

A 1982 second-round pick from Northwestern State (La.), Duper had four 1,000-yard seasons and reached double-digit touchdowns.

And yes, Northwestern State is the school that recently became the first in Division I history to lose to an NAIA team. If only the Demons had Duper on their side.

1. Mark Clayton (1983-1992)

A five-time Pro Bowler, Clayton had 560 catches for 8,643 yards and 81 touchdowns over his decade in Miami. He was an eighth-round pick in the loaded 1983 NFL draft, which included Dan Marino among its nine Hall of Famers. 

Incredibly, he isn’t even the best eighth-round pick from that class. Bears legend Richard Dent went No. 203, an even 20 spots before Clayton.
