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).

Lumberjack

Defenders with this ability allow fewer broken tackles and cause more fumbles when cut-sticking ballcarriers.

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.
