1. Michael Bennett and Chris Conley

I did not want to have a tie on this list, but how could I put two receivers with almost identical stats who played together for four years at separate entries.

In four years in Georgia, Conley had 117 catches, 1,938 yards and 20 touchdowns. Bennett had 134 receptions, 1,607 yards and 17 touchdowns and he also missed most of the 2012 season with an injury.

But besides stats, they helped lead probably the greatest receiving corps in Georgia football history. They started playing in 2011 and immediately became leaders and they were leaders for four seasons.

Georgia’s offense was in a boom period from 2011-14 and Bennett and Conley combined for over 3,600 yards and 37 touchdowns during that period. It’s hard to imagine that the Bulldogs offense could have been anywhere near as good as it was without them.
