Chris inherited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers DB room from Alterraun Verner (2014β2016), and handed it to Brent Grimes (2016β2018).
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.
