Reinforcement

The game's top defenders excel in all situations. When they enter the zone, this ability increases their chance of defeating run blocks, and disrupting catches via tackles.

Pick Artist

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).

Lurker

Defenders with this ability can make jumping, 180-degree interceptions while lurking in a zone in the middle of the field.

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.

Selfless

When Selfless players are making plays their teammates are motivated to perform better. When they enter the zone, all on field teammates enter the zone as well.

Universal Coverage

The most physical coverage defenders prevent catches from happening even when their target has hands on the ball. When they enter the zone, they are nearly guaranteed knockouts.

Medium Route KO

Defenders with this ability force more catch tackle knockouts in man-to-man versus medium routes, 10-20 yards from the LoS.
