This should be an interesting season for the Los Angeles Chargers at the quarterback, as well-traveled veteran passer Tyrod Taylor will most likely start the season with rookie gunslinger Justin Herbert waiting in the wings while trying to play catch up with the playbook in this pandemic.

While both quarterbacks may struggle in their first starts of the season, it will be nice to have a safety blanket in talented receiver Keenan Allen, who has already made a legitimate case to be one of the top pass catchers in franchise history.

If those quarterbacks had some of the other wide receivers on this list to throw to, there would be no struggles for either of Philip Rivers' successors.

5. Wes Chandler (1981-1987)

One of the beneficiaries of catching passes from Hall-of-Fame quarterback Dan Fouts, Chandler was able to amass 373 catches, 6,132 yards, and 41 touchdowns as a Charger.

Chandler is the only wide receiver in the NFL history who can say that he averaged 129 yards per game (1,032 yards and nine touchdowns), which is still an impressive number even though it came in the strike-shortened 1982 season (eight games).

Chandler earned plenty of accolades in his 12-year career, earning four Pro Bowl nods and a First-Team All-Pro honor in that strike-shortened season, as well as a Super Bowl ring with San Francisco in 1988.

4. Keenan Allen (2013-Present)

Allen has become one of the most under-appreciated wide receivers in the NFL today, as he has fallen 2-4 in every fantasy draft he's been a prospect in simply because everyone forgets about him.

Allen will likely finish higher on this list by the time his career is over, as he has already totaled 524 catches for 6,405 yards and 34 touchdowns.

While he has dealt with injuries for most of his career, especially in the beginning, Allen has finally earned recognition as a top-10 receiver in this league after winning Comeback Player of the Year in 2017 and earning a Pro Bowl nod the last three seasons.

Over those three Pro Bowl seasons, Allen has averaged 1,262 yards and six touchdowns a season. With the ability to put up those elite stats, he should be able to help both Taylor and Herbert this season.

3. Charlie Joiner (1976-1986)

Joiner is considered by some as one of the true legends at the wide receiver position for the Bolts, as by the time Joiner hung up his cleats after 11 seasons with the Chargers, he was ranked first in franchise history in receptions (586), second in yards (9,203) and third in touchdowns (47).

Joiner didn't see much success prior to joining the Chargers, but being a Bolt appeared to be the jolt his career needed.

He earned his first of three Pro Bowl bids in his first year in San Diego, recording over a thousand yards for the first time in his career in 1976. Joiner was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1996.

2. Kellen Winslow Sr. (1979-1987)

So, this is technically cheating, because Winslow was listed as a tight end in his time with San Diego, but he deserves a place on this list because of the way he was able to transform the tight end position into what it is today.

Before Winslow made his debut in 1979, tight ends were mostly used as glorified offensive linemen. Winslow helped change the way the position was played by being so dominant in the passing game, helping to trailblaze the tight end spot to what it is today with fellow legends like Rob Gronkowski, George Kittle, and Travis Kelce.

Winslow amassed 541 catches for 6,741 yards and 45 touchdowns in his nine years as a Charger, with his most impressive seasons coming in 1980 and 1981 when the tight end averaged 88.5 receptions, 1,182 yards, and 9.5 touchdowns.

After a Hall-of-Fame career with 5 Pro Bowl bids and 3 All-Pro selections, Winslow will be remembered for his legendary playoff performance in Miami, when he caught 13 balls for 166 yards and one touchdown despite suffering from heat exhaustion and having to be carried off the field by his teammates.

Despite Kellen Winslow Jr. doing everything in his power to depreciate the legacy of that unique first name, kids all across America are still named after Kellen Winslow Sr. after that legendary, never-give-up performance in Miami.

1. Lance Alworth (1962-1970)

Even in today's pass-friendly game, it would be a legend-making season if a wide receiver in 2020 was able to record 1,602 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. That's exactly the numbers that Alworth was able to record in 1965, back when many offenses didn't truly believe in the forward pass.

Alworth was the ideal receiver in the 1960s whose impact was easy to see, as Jared Martin of Sports Illustrated's ChargerReport wrote last year.

“Alworth (aka “Bambi) was the gold standard for wide receivers for a seven-year period from 1963-1969. During that time, he earned six all-pros and seven pro-bowls. He is the number one wide receiver in Charger history in both receiving yards and touchdowns, and is number two in receptions – making it pretty easy for me to slot Alworth in the number one spot.”

I couldn't agree with Martin more, which is why Alworth is topping my list. With as dominant as Alworth was in the 60s, it's hard to imagine him not making at least 70 percent of that same impact in today's game.

I'm sure Taylor or Herbert would love to throw to him.
