As a first round draft pick by the Packers in 1988, Sterling Sharpe wasted no time in shaking up the league. In his debut season, Sharpe reeled in 55 receptions, more than any other rookie in team history.

He led the league in receptions in 1989,1992, and 1993, including his sophmore campaign in which he broke Don Hutson's single season records for receptions and yards. 

In 1992, he achieved the NFL's version of the Triple Crown, as he led the NFL in yards, TDs, and receptions.

As most Packers fan know and would like to forget, Sharpe's outstanding seven year career was cut short in 1994 by a neck injury that it made it too dangerous for him to return to the game.

Had he been able to continue his domination at the wideout position, Sharpe could have been the one of the best receivers of all time.

In his limited career, he was still able to amass 8,134 yards and 65 TDs.

Sharpe was selected to five Pro Bowls and many believe he should have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
