#87 Pat Tilley

Not to be confused with the late Pat Tillman (spoiler, he comes later on this list), Tilley spent 11 seasons with the Cardinals as a receiver. He played from 1976-1986.

He had one Pro Bowl season in 1980. That year he had six touchdowns and 966-yards receiving.

For his career, all spent in St. Louis, he caught 468 passes for 7,005-yards and 37 touchdowns. He was a solid contributor for most of his time with the Cardinals.

The most passes he caught in one season was 68 in that ’80 season. He followed that season up in 1981 with 66 receptions for 1,040-yards and three touchdowns.

That was the only season he finished over 1,000-yards. However he did have three other seasons where he came close, finishing over 900-yards.

In addition to his 37 regular-season touchdowns, he also caught one post-season touchdown in the 1982 season. That game ended in a 41-16 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
