These wide receivers burst onto the NFL scene in their very first seasons in the league, but not all went on to legendary careers.

Bill Groman was a standout wide receiver for the Houston Oilers in the early years of the league, recording impressive numbers and scoring tons of touchdowns.
Odell Beckham Jr. had a stellar rookie season, proving himself as a top target for the New York Giants and making the catch that became one of the greatest in NFL history.
Justin Jefferson emerged as a star in his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings, setting records and earning accolades, and he has only built on that success in the years since.
