StatVault has the verified college attribution (Middle Tennessee State), 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.
Marty inherited the Chicago Bears DB room from Jeremy Lincoln (1993–1995), and handed it to Walt Harris (1996–2001).
Marty opened the Tampa Bay Buccaneers DB lineage the corpus knows, and handed it to John Lynch (1993–2003).
Marty inherited the Atlanta Falcons DB room from Ray Buchanan (1997–2003), and handed it to Gerald McBurrows (1999–2003).
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.
