The All-User Team: WRs

Smith holds virtually every Jacksonville receiving record and ranks in the top 15 in NFL history for both receptions (12th) and receiving yards (14th). In 2001, he was stopped by police for suspicion of drunken driving. When the urine sample he provided came back positive for cocaine, he vehemently denied using the drug. "I've never done it, don't do it and don't plan to do it," Smith said at the time.

 

Two years later, Smith could no longer pretend that a narcotic had mysteriously entered his system. He violated the league's substance-abuse policy and was suspended for the first four games of the 2003 season. Once it became evident that he had a nose for more than just the goal line, he finally acknowledged his problem. Smith was selected to five straight Pro Bowls between 1997 and 2001 but hasn't made one since. He will be playing his 14th season in the league and 11th with the Jaguars.

Dallas's Glenn burst onto the scene in New England in 1996 by setting a rookie record for receptions with 90. He made the Pro Bowl following his fourth season, but by 2001, he was getting far more notice for off-the-field troubles that included an arrest on domestic violence charges. Glenn was suspended for the first four games of the '01 season because he missed a mandatory drug test, something the league counts as a failed test.

 

Glenn returned to the Patriots but played sparingly due to a contract dispute and a questionable hamstring injury. His detrimental conduct eventually resulted in his suspension by the team for the playoffs. Without their volatile wideout, New England went on to win their first of three Super Bowls in the last four years. Glenn was traded to Green Bay in the offseason but only lasted there a year. He was then moved to Dallas to be reunited with Bill Parcells, the coach who once referred to him as "she." Glenn is entering Year 10 in the NFL, and this will be her third season with the Cowboys.

When we go to a four-wide formation, we can bring in Boston and Robinson, two highly touted receivers who were each taken among the top 10 picks in their respective drafts. The sculpted Boston gained 25 pounds before his 2001 season with Arizona, and rumors that he had used performance-enhancing drugs began to swirl. He ended up leading the NFL in receiving yardage that year, but shortly after playing in his first (and only) Pro Bowl, he was arrested for DUI and tested positive for marijuana and cocaine. In 2004, while already sitting out the season with a knee injury suffered during Miami's preseason, Boston was hit with a four-game suspension for steroids. If his hulking body still allows him to run pass routes, he will see his first game action with the Dolphins this fall, his seventh year in the league. 

 

Robinson showed flashes of brilliance in his sophomore season with Seattle, becoming just the second player in team history to record 1,200 receiving yards (the other was Hall of Famer Steve Largent). He then developed an increasing propensity to drop passes. His declining numbers bottomed out last year, when he was suspended one game by the team and another four games by the league. The Seahawks released Robinson earlier this summer in light of numerous alcohol-related problems. Last month, he pleaded guilty to driving under the influence and was sentenced to a day in jail and 24 months of supervised probation. He has admirably checked himself into rehab, but Robinson's four-year NFL career is currently as shaky as his hands.
