College stats are not imported for this profile yet.
StatVault has the verified college attribution (Colorado), 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.
Eric inherited the Cincinnati Bengals RB room from Jeff Cothran (1994–1996), and handed it to Brian Milne (1996–1999).
Eric inherited the Los Angeles Chargers RB room from Ronnie Harmon (1990–1995), and handed it to Natrone Means (1993–1999).
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.
