Closest statistical matches, adjusted for opponent strength.
Daniel Williams

Play style
The heaviest frame on the interior. Sack production is intentionally not the point of this profile.

What the box score actually says
19 tackles. 0 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 3 TFL.
Counts only, never a rate — splash-event sample sizes this small (interceptions, pass breakups, TFL) are noise as a rate and signal only as a tally.
