Greg inherited the Minnesota Vikings LB room from Kailee Wong (1998β2001), and handed it to Chris Claiborne (2003β2004).
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.
