5 Best Wide Receivers in Tennessee Titans History

Mason ranks among the most productive receivers of the franchise’s Tennessee era, totaling 453 receptions and 6,114 receiving yards after the Oilers relocated to Tennessee. A dynamic All-Pro receiver and return specialist, he recorded four 1,000-yard receiving seasons with the Titans.

Perhaps his most memorable moment came during the 1999 playoffs, when he returned an 80-yard kickoff for a touchdown in the AFC Championship Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

4. Ken Burrough (1971–1981)

Burrough spent 11 seasons with the Oilers and remains one of the most productive receivers in franchise history. He totaled 408 receptions for 6,906 yards and earned two Pro Bowl selections.

Burrough led the NFL with 1,063 receiving yards in 1975 and ranks seventh in franchise history in receptions. At the time of his retirement, only a handful of players in team history had produced more receiving yards.

3. Haywood Jeffires (1987–1995)

Jeffires emerged as a key part of Houston’s high-powered “Run and Shoot” offense alongside quarterback Warren Moon. His NFL career began slowly, as he recorded just nine receptions for 138 yards and one touchdown in 11 regular-season games over his first two seasons.

He began to turn the corner during the 1988 playoffs, totaling eight receptions for 130 yards. Over nine seasons with the Oilers, Jeffires finished with 515 receptions, 6,119 receiving yards and 47 touchdowns, ranking second in franchise history in catches.

2. Drew Hill (1985–1991)

Hill was a key member of Houston’s prolific “Run and Shoot” offense, joining Warren Moon, Ernest Givins and Haywood Jeffires during one of the most productive eras in Oilers history.

A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Hill ranks second in franchise history with 7,477 receiving yards. He recorded at least 1,000 receiving yards in five of his seven seasons with Houston and surpassed 900 yards in each of the other two.

1. Ernest Givins (1986–1995)

Givins is the most productive receiver in franchise history, holding team records with 542 receptions and 7,935 receiving yards. He spent nine seasons with the Oilers and caught at least 50 passes in each of his first eight seasons with the team.

A vital piece of Houston’s “Run and Shoot” offense, Givins earned Pro Bowl honors in 1990 and 1992. He surpassed 1,000 receiving yards once but was a remarkably consistent producer throughout his Oilers career, finishing with 46 touchdown receptions. His postseason résumé included 60 catches for 774 yards and eight touchdowns.
