StatVault aggregates multiple open-licensed and proprietary sources into a single profile. The depth indicator above shows which layers are available for this player.
Modern-era stats (1999+) come from nflverse's open data releases. Pre-1999 seasons are backfilled additively from Wikipedia and NFL.com's own official season pages — never from rights-restricted sources.
Production per snap — the box score normalized by opportunity. SIS is z-scored within linebackers, shrinkage-regularized so small samples don't spike, over the NFL snap-count era (2012+).
Percentiles compare each raw measurement against position peers, the full combine pool, and the same draft class where enough samples exist.

Cameron inherited the New Orleans Saints LB room from Junior Galette (2010–2014), and handed it to Demario Davis (2018–2025).
The room is reconstructed from arrival order among durable members (≥4 seasons with the club) at the player’s position group — a lineage by arrival, not a week-by-week depth chart. Distinct from the league-wide .
Statistical + physical similarity across every player in the database, position-relevant (0–100%).
