Joey inherited the Seattle Seahawks WR room from James McKnight (1994–1998), and handed it to Mike Pritchard (1996–1999).
Joey inherited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR room from Joe Jurevicius (2002–2004), and handed it to Michael Clayton (2004–2009).
Joey inherited the Dallas Cowboys WR room from Raghib Ismail (1999–2001), and handed it to Antonio Bryant (2002–2004).
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.
