Jason inherited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers DL room from Rakeem Nunez-Roches (2018β2022), and handed it to Vita Vea (2018β2025).
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.
