Bart inherited the New York Jets LB room from Calvin Pace (2008β2015), and handed it to Quinton Coples (2012β2015).
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.
