Oklahoma - Steve Largent

Steve Largent is the original white guy receiver with swag so, it's only right that he holds the throne for the state of Oklahoma. Ironically, some NFL greats including Wes Welker, Dan Hampton, Lee Roy Selmon, and more hail from the state. During his two-year stint at the University of Tulsa, Largent stacked up some ridiculous stats raking in 28 touchdowns and 1,884 receiving yards. Somehow, his efforts went unnoticed by NFL scouts as he was drafted 117th overall in the fourth round of the 1976 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers.

After four preseason games with the Oilers, the organization was preparing to cut the 5'11 wide receiver but later decided to trade him to the Seattle Seahawks, a brand new expansion at the team. Largent went on to play fourteen seasons with the Seahawks becoming the team's most productive receiver to date and the team's first-ever Pro Bowl representative. The 7x Pro Bowler is the first receiver in NFL history to make 100 touchdown receptions and is tied at ninth in all-time touchdown receptions with Tim Brown. While Largent wasn't known for his speed, his hands were some of the most dependable the NFL has ever seen.
