Michael Thomas (WR) and Marques Colston (WR)

These two names almost split the decade in half. They have never played side by side, but one led the team through the first half of the decade and the other led the team through the second half of the decade.

Marques Colston played his entire career (2006-2015) with the New Orleans Saints. While he was on the team, Colston tallied 711 receptions for just shy of 10,000 yards and 72 touchdowns. He averaged 13.7 yards per reception on his career.

Michael Thomas on the other hand, currently, is the best wide receiver in the NFL. Having just broken the record for most receptions in a single season in the NFL, Thomas might even be the best wide receiver the Saints have ever had.

Imagine if these two had played one year on the same team. The dynamite of the two of them would have been electrifying. The swift route skills and explosiveness of them would have ignited the crowd and the city to maybe another Super Bowl in that era.
