4.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 4 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 20.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 21.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
