Art Monk Set the single season record for most receptions and retired as the all time leading receiver in the NFL. The impressive thing is that he accomplised that while playing in a run oriented offense and playing opposite a Pro Bowl WR for most of his career (Charley Brown, Gary Clark). It seems to me that he is being punished for not being selfish but being the consumate team player. I challenge all the sports writers who vote on Hall of Fame inductions to name 5 other receivers in the history of the league who was able to be as productive as Art Monk under the conditions in which he accomplished it.
