Eli Manning’s personal wide receiver, Chris Collins comes in at the #1 spot. Collins still holds multiple Ole Miss receiving records. He is second on the all-time receiving yards list, and holds the record for most career receiving touchdowns as a Rebel.

  • 2,621 receiving yards
  • 24 career touchdowns
  • 198 career receptions

Collins is a legend to Rebel fans everywhere. He helped Manning lead the Rebels to a Co-SEC West championship in 2003. Collins also helped lead the team to a 31-0 victory over the MSU Bulldogs, which forced Jackie Sherrill into retirement.

Collins did benefit from playing with the second greatest Ole Miss quarterback of all-time, Eli Manning. 

The Rebels won two bowl games during Collins time at Ole Miss, the Independence Bowl and the Cotton Bowl.

Collins shared time with another Rebel great in Bill Flowers, who is 10th on the all-time receiving list.

Despite all of his accolades at Ole Miss, Collins was spurned by the NFL in the draft. He never played in the NFL.
