Defense before 2016
| Season | G | Solo | Ast | Tkl |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 6 of 12 | 5 | 5 | 10 |
Our box scores carry tackles, tackles for loss and sacks from 2016 only, so these come from other sources: ESPN play-by-play participants, via SportsDataverse: tackles only, counted in the games whose play-by-play names tacklers (G: those games, of his team’s), so part of the season, not its total. A dash: the source has no number for it.
