College stats are not imported for this profile yet.
StatVault has the verified college attribution (Southern), but no parsed college box-score table is present in this profile artifact. The section stays here so every profile has a consistent college-stats landing point without fabricating unavailable rows.
Career teammates and draft class, derived from year-by-year rosters — every name is linked.
Aeneas inherited the Arizona Cardinals DB room from Tim McDonald (1987–1992), and handed it to Terry Hoage (1994–1996).
Aeneas inherited the Los Angeles Rams DB room from Dre' Bly (1999–2002), and handed it to Adam Archuleta (2001–2005).
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.
