Stevie Johnson

The Buffalo Bills drafted Stevie Johnson in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft and eventually became the team’s number one wide receiver. He had a breakout year in 2010 that would start a streak of three straight years with over 1,000 receiving yards and was the season he probably should have earned that Pro Bowl nomination.

In 2010, the Buffalo Bills started the year with Trent Edwards as starting quarterback but switched to Ryan Fitzpatrick after two games. This was when Stevie Johnson started to producing and had at least one touchdown in the next five games. He finished the year with 82 receptions, 1,073 receiving yards and 10 receiving yards.

That year those totals were good enough to be 11th in the NFL in receptions and receiving yards and tied for seventh in receiving touchdowns. The AFC had five wide receivers go to the Pro Bowl and he would finish the year with more receptions that two of them, more yards than one and more touchdowns than three receivers.
