StatVault has the verified college attribution (North Texas), 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.
Craig inherited the New Orleans Saints LB room from Curtis Lofton (2012–2014), and handed it to Trey Hendrickson (2017–2020).
Craig inherited the Cleveland Browns LB room from Chris Gocong (2010–2011), and handed it to Barkevious Mingo (2013–2015).
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.
