Why he’s on the list: Since coming to Pittsburgh in 2009, Mike Wallace has made a name as one of the NFL’s elite long-ball receivers. His pure speed is a perfect complement to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s cannon arm. Wallace lit up the league in 2010 with a spectacular 21 yards-per-catch average, and starred in a losing cause in the Super Bowl later that season. In 2011, Wallace was selected to his first Pro Bowl.
