Dual-sport athlete Samie Parker showed off his uncatchable speed on the field and on the track. With an astonishing 169 receptions, he easily cemented his place in Oregon lore.

Parker started off hot in his freshman year despite being a backup. Duck fans were excited by his 11 receptions and more than 18 yards per catch. He also ran the ball for an addition 15 yards.

His sophomore and junior seasons showed a lot of growth and a lot more potential. Collecting nearly 1,400 yards over those two years, Parker was climbing up the charts.

Parker's senior season was when he really shined. He had more than 1,100 scrimmage yards and 77 receptions. He helped lead his team to the Sun Bowl and the Ducks nearly pulled of the victory as underdogs to the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

With 2,761 career yards in the air, Samie Parker is (by the books) the greatest Oregon receiver of all time.
