Box-score production percentiles vs the position cohort
Elite: qb hurries (85th percentile).

What the box score actually says
34 tackles. 1 passes defended. 1 interceptions. 2.5 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.
