Freeney will get knocked due to his overall sack numbers on paper. It's a shame, because anybody that I've ever heard give him a real eyeball-evaluation always notices how impactful he was. He was 1st Team All-Decade for the 2000's over some of theses guys that have better numbers.
Reggie is another guy that gets overshadowed (mainly by his own teammate). He wasn't quite as good as Marvin, but his career yards and catches are neck-and-neck with him which was always satisfying to me. Didn't have the TD's, but that's another stat like sacks that can mislead. He took the reigns as the #1 in '07 and was an All-Pro level player for that 6-year stretch before he got hurt and slowed down.
Worth mentioning that I always loved Torry Holt, too. I always felt he was underrated, too, which is funny because he was 2nd Team All-Decade... must be because he was like our guys as far as not being an over-the-top diva WR. Marvin is famous for his 8-year stretch... Holt actually had a similar 8-year stretch that ran basically alongside Harrison's. Gets overshadowed because Harrison's was better but go look up the numbers. Super impressive.
