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.

Secure Tackler

Defenders with this ability have an increased success rate when using conservative or diving tackles.

Unfakeable

Defenders with this ability are rarely faked out by ballcarrier moves (and cannot be faked out when user-controlled).

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.

Flat Zone KO

Defenders with this ability force more catch knockouts and react quicker in any flat zone coverage, less than 10 yards from the LoS and outside the hash marks.
