We’re kicking off the journey to the Chargers Quarter-Century Team by voting on the team’s WR1 since 2000.
The first poll to decide the top Chargers wide receiver for the franchise’s All Quarter Century Team was a landslide victory for Keenan Allen who garnered over 90 percent of the vote. Now with the team’s WR1 out of the way, let’s figure out who will join him as the second receiver on the team.
Go ahead and drop into the poll below and come back in 48 hours to see who made the cut!
Malcom Floyd (2004-2015)
Floyd’s career with the Chargers started as an undrafted free agent out of the University of Wyoming in 2004. While he never got over the 1,000-yard threshold in any one season, his consistency as WR2/3 for the team never went underappreciated. In 12 years with the Chargers, Floyd amassed 5,550 receiving yards and 34 touchdowns. He recorded at least 700 receiving yards five times and hit five or more receiving scores four times before retiring in 2015.
Mike Williams (2017-2023)
Williams was selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft following a year where Allen missed all but one half of a single game with a torn ACL. After a slow start to his career via injuries, Williams broke out in year two with 11 total touchdowns in 2018. He then went on to record his first 1,000-yard season in 2019 where he averaged a whopping 20.4 yards per reception. Before being released prior to the 2024 season (and signed back again this offseason), Williams recorded 4,806 yards and 31 touchdowns.
Vincent Jackson (2005-2011)
The two-time Pro Bowler for the Chargers joined the team as a second-round pick in 2005. At 6’4 and 241 pounds, Jackson was an athletic freak the way he could stride down the field with 4.50 speed despite being the size of a tight end. After recording a little over 1,100 yards in his first three seasons, Jackson broke out in 2008 with 1,098 yards, notching the first of his three 1,000-yard seasons with the Chargers. Before his time with the Bolts came to an end, he was named to two Pro Bowls and racked up 4,754 yards and 37 touchdowns.
