Tremon inherited the Denver Broncos DB room from Ja'Quan McMillian (2022β2025), and handed it to Riley Moss (2023β2025).
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.
