Defensive statistics

Regular-season totals, 1999–2026. Solo and assisted tackles, tackles for loss, sacks, quarterback hits, interceptions, passes defended, forced fumbles and opponent fumbles recovered. Sacks are shared between players, so a total can end in a half. Play-offs are not included. A dash means the source carries no figure for that season, for any player — which is not the same as the player recording none, so this page does not print a nought. Career totals add only the seasons that are recorded.

Solo tackles by season. Every figure is in the table below.

What is not recorded

Everything this page could not tell you, and why. An empty field in the source is not a fact about the player.

College. Not recorded. nflverse carries a college for 39% of the 25,916 players in this set, and the gap is in the roster data rather than in the player's history.

Where this came from

Roster appearances, position, college, draft and physicals from nflverse open roster data. Seasons before about 1999 are roster-only, so there are no game statistics for them. Teams are linked where the franchise is certain; earlier seasons show the code used at the time.
