By the Numbers: Best #25 in NFL History

When we wrote our first By the Numbers post a year ago, it was intended to become a regular feature until we hit all 100 numbers (0-99…sorry, we’re not differentiating between 0 and 00). One thing I wanted to hold true to, though, was a random selection of the numbers. I don’t even totally know why—I just did.
Unfortunately, unlike our first selection, which had several players all viable choices as the best #81 of all time, research into our second number consistently came back with one player—the best #25 in NFL history appears to clearly have been Fred Biletnikhoff.
With 589 career receptions, 8,974 receiving yards, 76 touchdowns, a Super Bowl MVP (XI), six Pro Bowls (two of them AFL only), two first-team All-Pro selections, and Hall of Fame induction in 1988, he seems a cut clear choice.
Given the anti-climactic nature of the selection, we sat on it…for a year.
Other names that came up on the list:
Its hard for the prosecution to take a case to trial when the victim refuses to cooperate, as without that…
Antonio Brown took a slap-on-the-wrist plea deal despite armed attempted murder ... He will get probation ... Black Athlete Privilege!
Paul do you agree with me Jim Porter is the devil and he was born without a heart
Deion Sanders and Jim Porter are now on my mortal enemy list
I never thought it couldn’t get it worst but it got worst
