Defenders with this ability have higher chance to catch uncontested interceptions, and they have unlimited stamina on the return (until using a special move or breaking a tackle).

Defenders with this ability use faster run shed moves for a better chance at shedding blocks against outside zone plays.

Mid Zone KO

Defenders with this ability force more catch knockouts and react quicker in any mid-field zone coverage, less than 20 yards from the LoS inside the numbers and 10-20 outside.

Deep Out Zone KO

Defenders with this ability force more catch knockouts and react quicker in deep zone coverage, 20+ yards from the LoS and outside the hash marks.

Out My Way

Defenders with this ability will frequently attempt and win impact blocks against receivers, tight ends, and running backs.

Defenders with this ability force more catch tackle knockouts in man-to-man versus short routes less than 10 yards from LoS

One Step Ahead
