Where this defender ranks vs the field
Box-score production percentiles vs the position cohort
Elite: passes defended (88th percentile). Concern: tackles (23rd percentile).

What the box score actually says

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.
