Green Bay Packers All-Time Receiving Yards Leaders

Green Bay Packers All-Time Receiving Yards Leaders starts with Donald Driver, the franchise record-holder with 10,137 receiving yards. In a team history that includes Don Hutson, James Lofton, Sterling Sharpe, Davante Adams, Jordy Nelson and several other elite pass catchers, Driver still owning the yardage record says a lot about his consistency and longevity.

James Lofton brings the Hall of Fame deep-threat case. Sterling Sharpe had one of the most dominant short primes in franchise history. Davante Adams became the modern route-running standard. Don Hutson changed the receiver position before the modern passing game existed, while Jordy Nelson, Boyd Dowler, Antonio Freeman, Greg Jennings and Max McGee all built major Packers receiving résumés in different eras.

How This Packers Receiving Yards List Works

This list ranks the Green Bay Packers all-time receiving yards leaders by regular-season receiving yards recorded with the Packers franchise. It does not include playoff receiving yards, preseason stats or receiving yards gained with another NFL team.

That matters for players like James Lofton, Davante Adams, Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb and others who also produced outside Green Bay. For this leaderboard, only Packers receiving yards count.

This leaderboard is based on regular-season franchise receiving yardage totals from Green Bay Packers career receiving leaderboards.

Last updated: 2026 offseason. Romeo Doubs appears in the expanded table and was an active Packers receiver during the 2025 season, so his total can change in future seasons.

1. Donald Driver — 10,137 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1999–2012 with Green Bay, franchise-record 10,137 receiving yards, franchise-record 743 receptions, 61 receiving touchdowns, three Pro Bowls and one Super Bowl championship.

Donald Driver is the Green Bay Packers all-time receiving yards leader. His 10,137 yards remain the top number in franchise history, and they reflect one of the most reliable long-term careers any Packers receiver has had.

Driver’s story is also one of the best development arcs in team history. He arrived as a seventh-round pick, worked his way into the offense and eventually became the most productive receiver in Packers history by yardage and receptions.

He produced with both Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, which adds to his legacy. Driver was not always the flashiest receiver on the field, but his consistency, toughness and connection with multiple franchise quarterbacks made him the Packers’ career receiving yards king.

2. James Lofton — 9,656 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1978–1986 with Green Bay, 9,656 receiving yards, 530 receptions, 49 receiving touchdowns, seven Packers Pro Bowls and Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver.

James Lofton ranks second in Packers career receiving yards, and he may be the greatest pure deep threat in franchise history after Don Hutson. His speed changed how defenses had to play Green Bay.

Lofton averaged 18.2 yards per catch as a Packer, which shows how dangerous he was downfield. He did not need short-volume passing to build his résumé. He stretched the field and created explosive plays.

The Packers were not always a great team during Lofton’s prime, which probably kept his legacy from becoming even bigger in Green Bay. Still, his Hall of Fame talent and 9,656 Packers receiving yards keep him firmly near the top.

3. Sterling Sharpe — 8,134 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1988–1994 with Green Bay, 8,134 receiving yards, 595 receptions, 65 receiving touchdowns, five Pro Bowls and three first-team All-Pro selections.

Sterling Sharpe ranks third in Packers career receiving yards, and his total is remarkable because his career ended after only seven seasons.

Sharpe was one of the NFL’s most dominant receivers during his prime. He could win with strength, route detail, hands and volume. Defenses knew the ball was coming his way and still struggled to stop him.

If his career had not been cut short by a neck injury, Sharpe could have challenged Donald Driver and James Lofton for the franchise receiving yards record. Even with the short career, his production was strong enough to keep him in the top three.

4. Davante Adams — 8,121 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 2014–2021 with Green Bay, 8,121 receiving yards, 669 receptions, 73 receiving touchdowns, five Packers Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pro selections.

Davante Adams ranks fourth in Packers career receiving yards, just 13 yards behind Sterling Sharpe. That tiny gap shows how close Adams came to moving even higher before leaving Green Bay.

Adams became the best route runner in football during his Packers peak. His release package, body control and chemistry with Aaron Rodgers made him nearly impossible to cover, especially in big situations.

He also scored at a historic pace, finishing second in Packers receiving touchdowns. In terms of modern peak, Adams has one of the strongest cases of any receiver in franchise history.

5. Don Hutson — 7,991 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1935–1945 with Green Bay, 7,991 receiving yards, 488 receptions, franchise-record 99 receiving touchdowns, three NFL championships, two NFL MVP awards and Pro Football Hall of Fame end.

Don Hutson ranks fifth in Packers career receiving yards, but that number needs heavy era context. He played in shorter seasons and in a league where passing volume was nothing like today.

Hutson was not just good for his era. He was wildly ahead of it. He helped define modern route running, dominated receiving leaderboards and built numbers that still stand near the top of the Packers record book.

His 99 receiving touchdowns remain the franchise record, and his 7,991 yards still rank fifth despite the era gap. Hutson’s place here is another reminder of how far ahead of the sport he was.

6. Jordy Nelson — 7,848 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 2008–2017 with Green Bay, 7,848 receiving yards, 550 receptions, 69 receiving touchdowns, one Super Bowl championship and 2016 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.

Jordy Nelson ranks sixth in Packers career receiving yards and was one of Aaron Rodgers’ most trusted targets during the 2010s.

Nelson’s chemistry with Rodgers became famous, especially on deep throws and back-shoulder routes. He had the speed to separate vertically and the body control to win along the sideline.

His touchdown production was even stronger than his yardage ranking, but the yardage total is still excellent. Nelson gave the Packers nearly a decade of high-level receiving production and one of the best quarterback-receiver connections in franchise history.

7. Boyd Dowler — 6,918 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1959–1969 with Green Bay, 6,918 receiving yards, 448 receptions, 40 receiving touchdowns, five NFL championships, two Super Bowl wins and 1959 NFL Rookie of the Year.

Boyd Dowler ranks seventh in Packers career receiving yards. He was one of the most dependable receivers of the Lombardi era and a trusted target for Bart Starr.

Dowler was not always the loudest star on those teams, but he fit the Packers’ offense perfectly. He ran clean routes, made tough catches and gave Green Bay steady production in a championship system.

His 6,918 receiving yards remain a major total in franchise history, especially because he played in a run-first, balanced era. Dowler’s combination of production and rings keeps him high on the leaderboard.

8. Antonio Freeman — 6,651 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1995–2001 and 2003 with Green Bay, 6,651 receiving yards, 431 receptions, 57 receiving touchdowns, one Pro Bowl and one Super Bowl championship.

Antonio Freeman ranks eighth in Packers career receiving yards and was Brett Favre’s most dangerous wide receiver during the late-1990s Super Bowl window.

Freeman had a great feel for Favre’s aggressive, improvisational style. When plays broke down, he knew how to uncover and turn broken structure into big gains.

His 1998 season was his best, and his unforgettable Monday night catch against the Vikings remains one of the most famous plays in Packers history. Freeman’s yardage and touchdown totals both make him one of Green Bay’s top receivers.

9. Greg Jennings — 6,537 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 2006–2012 with Green Bay, 6,537 receiving yards, 425 receptions, 53 receiving touchdowns, two Pro Bowls and one Super Bowl championship.

Greg Jennings ranks ninth in Packers career receiving yards and helped bridge the end of the Brett Favre era into the rise of Aaron Rodgers.

Jennings could win downfield, separate on intermediate routes and create big plays after the catch. His chemistry with Rodgers became a major part of the Packers’ Super Bowl XLV offense.

He also delivered in that Super Bowl, catching two touchdown passes against Pittsburgh. Jennings’ regular-season production and championship impact both strengthen his place on this list.

10. Max McGee — 6,346 Receiving Yards

Green Bay Packers Stats & Accolades: 1954 and 1957–1967 with Green Bay, 6,346 receiving yards, 345 receptions, 50 receiving touchdowns, five NFL championships and two Super Bowl wins.

Max McGee rounds out the top 10 in Packers career receiving yards. His regular-season numbers were strong, but his legacy became unforgettable because of Super Bowl I.

McGee stepped into a bigger role than expected and caught seven passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns against the Chiefs. That performance became one of the most famous receiving games in franchise history.

His career yardage total already earns him a top-10 spot. The championship moments make his Packers legacy even bigger.

Biggest Takeaways From the Packers Receiving Yards List
