Went Megatron for the overall package. We also never got a chance to see Megatron with an elite QB. Stafford is cool and all, but I would’ve loved to see Calvin with Manning, Brees, or Brady… and on a team that wasn’t the Lions.

Moss might’ve not been peak Moss, but he was still in his prime and got that gift.

I don't know if he makes the top 100. His athletic numbers are pretty pedestrian.

Moss, IMO. 

Speed, agility, height, leaping ability, yes. Guy also had the innate ability to catch, though. His ball skills really were second to none. It was strictly want-to with Moss. 

You put a Jerry Rice/Larry Fitzgerald brain in a Randy Moss body, you get an exponentially better player than if you do the reverse. 

Megatron isn’t a bad answer, though. Easily the more physical player and was a high pointing monster himself.

Oo reckon this has to be the right answer. 

Some might be tricked by his build if they, didn't see him play in his prime, but Miss was also, very strong. Not TO or Calvin Johnson strong by any means, but far more than you would think by looking at his build. And he just caught stuff that he had no right to under the laws, of physics tiem and tiem again. Watch a highlight video of him and on some plays the ball just appears in his hands like

Added to that is one of the very fastest ever 40 yd dashes (4.25), even more absurd top speed thanks to a 6'3 frame, rubberman agility and one of the best sets of hands the game has seen. 

I've been watching for 20xyeara and have never seen anyone as unplayable as Moss when he decided to show up, not even Adrian Peterson or Gronk. That last part is what holds him from being the GOAT at WR (Rice obviously), but he was unquestionably the most unplayable and most natural talent - followed by Megatron.

Somehow he got by with his physical talents

This isn’t that impressive. Dwayne Gratz was a mediocre speed CB and he kept pace with Gordon that entire run and probably makes the tackle if Cyprian doesn’t cut off the angle he had.

This doesn’t show anything even coming close to all time athletic talent.

Aren't you a Jags fan?
