Joey was a little before my time so I don't really know what he was like here, but I was under the impression he was the type to blow by defenders with speed rather than go up in a crowd to snag a ball.

Joey is 5'10" if he is lucky and I have watched him slam a basketball two handed any way you want, behind the back, 360, you name it he could absolutely sky. Had to have had high 30's and most likely 40 plus inch vertical.


Edit - quick google says 40"

"The qualities that could be measured were certainly stunning - the 4.18 40-yard time, the 400-pound bench press, the 40-inch vertical leap."

Any receiver, regardless of speed, will have to battle a defender for the ball occasionally. Galloway was very good at it when he did have to combat a defender...

Joey was a FREAK. My first favorite Buckeye. I was in grade school in Bellaire when he played HS ball. Football was probably his third best HS sport after basketball and track. Would come back to the area post NFL days (at 40+) and straight shame people in local 3 on 3 tournament.

A certain Michael Thomas cares to differ as to recent receivers not being able to come down with the ball.

I'd put him in a class with Gary Williams (who hauled in at least one pass in 48 straight games) as being a consistant/reliable "go to" guy that could move the chains. David Boston and Michael Jenkins (aka the "Holy Buckeye Guy") were very good clutch receivers too. However, I still say: Carter is #1 on my "best at catching the long ball (or any distance for that matter) in a crowd list".
