What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles defender led his position group specifically against the pass during the 2025-26 campaign. By comparison, Devin Bush was the only linebacker in the league to record grades above 80 in both run defense and coverage last season.

Why it matters: Elite pass coverage from the linebacker position remains a critical asset against modern NFL offenses. Maintaining top-tier production in pass defense will be vital for Philadelphia entering the 2026 schedule.

What to watch: NFL teams open 2026 preseason training camps next month.
