Marvin Jones led all Jacksonville Jaguars players during the 2021 season in just about every receiving category. He had 73 receptions, 832 yards and four touchdowns. At 32 years old, he also adds a much-needed veteran presence to the young offensive core of players.

While his age provides experience, it may cause Jones to be the odd-man out on the depth chart next season for wide receivers looking for targets. The Jaguars also signed Christian Kirk and Zay Jones during the free agency period, creating a crowded group of young wide receivers.

#4 - Chase Claypool, Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers moved on from JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington during the 2022 offseason, but their additions during the NFL Draft may take away from Claypool's playing time. They selected George Pickens and Calvin Austin to compete for the starting job while also adding five more receivers during the free agency period as depth pieces on their roster.

#5 - Marquez Callaway, New Orleans Saints

Top wide receiver Michael Thomas is expected to return for the 2022 season after missing the entire 2021 season with injuries. The Saints also traded up during the first round of the Draft to select Chris Olave while also signing three more rookie wide receivers.
