Elite: passes defended (95th percentile). Strength: tackles (82nd percentile). Concern: tackles for loss (17th percentile).

What the box score actually says
59 tackles. 8 passes defended. 1 interceptions. 0.5 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.
