WRs better known for being with their 2nd or 3rd teams

I'm a bit in the way-back machine. Charlie Joiner, Harold Jackson, Haven Moses, John Gilliam, Reggie Rucker, Roy Jefferson.

Bobby Mitchell and Paul Warfield, both ex-Browns, come to mind.

Lance Rentzel. And before him, Del Shofner.

Speaking of Lances, Alworth finished up with the Cowboys, where he won a Championship (though I'm sure he's more famous as a Charger).

Don Maynard started with the Giants.

In some cases it is a matter of opinion as to which team one player is associated with.
John Jefferson and Cris Carter had significant portions of their careers with more than one team.

I think the vast majority of opinions would associate Jefferson with his three seasons San Diego, where he made three Pro Bowls, 2 All Pro teams, and led the league in TD catches 2x. He spent 4 years in Green Bay, but made just one Pro Bowl, after the shortened 1982 season, even though he didn't have a TD catch.

I can't imagine anyone associating Cris Carter with the Eagles, except for Buddy Ryan's famous reason for letting him go.

Is it 2nd or 3rd team, or 2nd or 3rd name?
