Proprietary StatVault Metrics
College stats are not imported for this profile yet.
StatVault has the verified college attribution (Tennessee), but no parsed college box-score table is present in this profile artifact. The section stays here so every profile has a consistent college-stats landing point without fabricating unavailable rows.
Career teammates and draft class, derived from year-by-year rosters — every name is linked.
Donte' inherited the New England Patriots WR room from Randy Moss (2007–2010), and handed it to Wes Welker (2007–2012).
Donte' inherited the New Orleans Saints WR room from Jerome Pathon (2002–2004), and handed it to Devery Henderson (2005–2012).
The room is reconstructed from arrival order among durable members (≥4 seasons with the club) at the player’s position group — a lineage by arrival, not a week-by-week depth chart. Distinct from the league-wide positional GOAT torch.
