DeAngelo inherited the Atlanta Falcons DB room from Ray Buchanan (1997–2003), and handed it to Brent Grimes (2007–2012).
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 positional GOAT torch.
