There weren’t a lot of boxes Stokes didn’t check as a wide receiver prospect, and he even had the benefit of lining up across from Hall of Famers Jerry Rice and Terrell Owens through most of his career. He was a fine No. 2 receiver who averaged 41 catches, 517 yards and four touchdowns per year in eight seasons with San Francisco. Stokes certainly wasn’t a bad NFL player, but his career didn’t quite stack up to that of a top-10 pick.
