College stats are not imported for this profile yet.
StatVault has the verified college attribution (Alcorn State), 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.
Torrance inherited the New Orleans Saints WR room from Quinn Early (1991–1995), and handed it to Michael Haynes (1994–1996).
Torrance inherited the Philadelphia Eagles WR room from Irving Fryar (1996–1998), and handed it to Todd Pinkston (2000–2004).
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.
