College stats are not imported for this profile yet.
StatVault has the verified college attribution (Arkansas), 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.
David inherited the New York Jets DB room from Erik Coleman (2004–2007), and handed it to Ty Law (2005–2008).
David inherited the Arizona Cardinals DB room from Tom Knight (1999–2001), and handed it to Justin Lucas (2000–2003).
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.
