Reed - 13198
Monk - 12721
Irvin - 11904

Career receptions:
Reed - 951
Monk - 940
Irvin - 750

Career receiving TDs:
Reed - 87
Monk - 68
Irvin - 65

Considering that Irvin's career started in 1988 as opposed to Reed in 1985 and Monk in 1980 and he started in a much more pass happy era I think that makes this difference even more staggering. I hate it when they reward the guys that had shorter careers and then enjoy success as a commentator rather than the guys who were great for a long time.
Great stats,Sniper! Media perception is usually skewed by the bright,shiny objects like trophies!
