Tyoka inherited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers DL room from Regan Upshaw (1996β1998), and handed it to Steve White (1996β2001).
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.
