This is my answer, for some reason he was the first real name that I fell in love with mostly cause of Madden as he was always phenomenal for me there lol
When Madden came out with those special abilities I remember him having the wings under him so I always got a kick hitting the deep route and seeing that
I once saw a Bucs game in SF where there was almost zero TD’s. Quite boring. But there was a swing pass to Joey that he took 50+ yards to the house. He out ran everyone. That play was awesome.
I remember reading an article about how good the Bucs passing game was going to be because they "raided the University of Florida" in drafting Jacquez Green and Reidel Anthony.
There were some dark years with Josh Freeman at QB where we desperately needed guys like Sammie Stroughter, Arrelious Benn, or Tiquan Underwood to step up their game as WR2s and in the end they were all disappointing.
I more relate to this watching Austin Sefarian Jenkins then OJ Howard go out there knowing what they should be capable up yet lay a turd week after week.
Brings more memories back today, seen the video yesterday on LeGarrette Blount on here and he was the receiver way up in the second level blocking like an unchained dawg

Bro Desean Jackson is a top 3 all time deep threat… by numbers he’s the best… most 50 yards TDs… one of the fastest to ever play the game…. Not great but nfl network will be showing his highlights for years to come… he has quite a few legendary plays…
He's talking about Desean, not Joe btw, just to clarify cause it migh tbe misunderstood.
Desean Jackson had some tweet where he said something about jews, i don't really remember what it was, but it was really controversial 2-3 seasons ago, I think it was while he was on the raiders or before joining them. Can't remember if he aplogized, nor the comment, but i just wanted to clarify in case at least one person misunderstands the comment
For me its T. J. Houshmandzadeh from Cincinnati. He was my WR the first time Ive ever played fantasy football. He was a solid player back then but I liked him way more than I should have.
I can't take this slander. People SLEEP on the fucking Mark Brunell to Keenan McCardell connection in Jacksonville during those first 5-6 years. Go back and look at McCardell's numbers during those years, that's not a mediocre WR that's a solid #1 receiver
I also thought Sammie stroughter was going to own the league after that game winner! Him and Josh freeman still are young enough to make this happen you can’t tell me they aren’t!!!
Jacquez Green. Loved the guy as a gator fan so I was stoked when he was drafted, Reidel Anthony as well but to this day Jacquez Green is the only Bucs jersey I’ve ever gotten for myself.
Wasn't when I was 8, when I was 19 years old. In 2005 Jon Gruden used a 5th round pick on a small school WR named Larry Brackins. He didn't even make the team but this guy was a WR god in Madden. I used him to torture my friend in madden.
I'd send Larry on a short in route or slant across the middle. near 100% catch rate. the only thing that would stop it is if my friend took control of a safety and brought him close to the line. No problem, if he did that I would just bomb it deep to Joey Galloway. I think my single best game I broke 700 yards passing.

Gene Washington - the Viking, not the 49r. I'm not sure why I was a Vikings fan, maybe because nobody else was and I wanted to be different. The Bucs were not even a glimmer in their daddy's eye.
If I had to pick a WR when I was 9, or there about, it would have to be when we signed Alvin Harper from the Cowboys. I thought for sure we had the steal of the decade when we signed him from the Cowboys. Little did I realize until many years later and my adolescent haze faded did I realize he just took the money and didn't do shit when he was here.
Keenan McCardell will always hold a special place in my heart, but he wasn't necessarily mediocre. So I'm going with Bert Emanuel, the man was part of the play that could've gotten us to our first Super Bowl.
I was still trying to find my team when I was young almost went with the jags and Keenan McCardell popped in which also works cause he was on the bucs too in 2002.
Michael Clayton. Also, DeSean Jackson wasn’t a mediocre WR lol.
