Box-score production percentiles vs the position cohort
Production sits in the middle of the position cohort across the board.

35 tackles. 3 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 3.5 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.
