Javon inherited the Denver Broncos WR room from Ashley Lelie (2002β2005), and handed it to Brandon Marshall (2006β2009).
The room is reconstructed from arrival order among durable members (β₯4 seasons with the club) at the playerβs position group β a lineage by arrival, not a week-by-week depth chart. Distinct from the league-wide positional GOAT torch.
