Where this defender ranks vs the field
Box-score production percentiles vs the position cohort
Elite: sacks (98th percentile). Strength: tackles for loss (93rd percentile). Concern: passes defended (19th percentile).

What the box score actually says
23 tackles. 0 passes defended. 0 interceptions. 9.5 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.
