A third-down machine who led the league in catches
T.J. Houshmandzadeh developed slowly and then became one of the surest hands in football, a precise route runner who lived on third down and formed a dangerous tandem with Chad Johnson in Cincinnati. The Oregon State product led the NFL in receptions in 2007.
Madden climbed him from a 55 early to a 95 by the 2008 edition, off that catch-leading season. A Pro Bowl and multiple 1,000-yard years later, he had built a career on reliability.
