Over the past 10 seasons, few players have epitomized consistency quite like Roddy White. He’s prolific statistically, respected as a player and a true example of dependability.

Much like the other wide receivers on this list, White simply hasn’t had many chances at a championship.

White has recorded at least 80 receptions in seven of his past eight seasons. He’s also—comfortably—exceeded 1,000 yards six times and has upwards of 10,000 receiving yards for his career.

Entering 2015, White is just 702 yards shy of tying Chad Johnson for No. 30 on the all-time receiving yards list.

A former First Team All-Pro, White has led the league in both receptions and receiving yards. He owns the career franchise records for receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.

If the Atlanta Falcons win the Super Bowl, no player will deserve to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy more than Roddy White.
