3. Christian Kirk

Easily the best slot receiver in school history, Christian Kirk will always have a special Aggie legacy. The Arizona native introduced himself to the Texas A&M fanbase with a punt return touchdown in his first game against Arizona State. He didn’t slow down from their, claiming the school record for punt return touchdowns (six) before leaving for the 2018 NFL Draft following his junior season. He was selected by the Arizona Cardinals 47th overall.

Kirk caught passes from a myriad of different quarterbacks but still managed to haul in 70 or more passes in all three of his seasons in College Station. He was a safety net for the offense and a kick starter to the special teams, willing his team back into games they had no business competing in.

Kirk had at least two receptions in every game he played at Texas A&M, topping out at 13 catches in the Belk Bowl, his final game. In that game Kirk racked up 189 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns, also career highs. The Swiss-army knife of Aggie football, there was nothing that Kirk couldn’t do.
