College stats are not imported for this profile yet.
StatVault has the verified college attribution (Clemson; Michigan), 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.
Trevor inherited the Denver Broncos DL room from Neil Smith (1997–1999), and handed it to Kavika Pittman (2000–2002).
Trevor inherited the Baltimore Ravens DL room from Justin Bannan (2006–2009), and handed it to Haloti Ngata (2006–2014).
Trevor inherited the Kansas City Chiefs DL room from Jared Allen (2004–2007), and handed it to Wallace Gilberry (2008–2011).
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.
