Inside linebacker Rashaan Evans had a great season defensively with 111 total tackles, coming in second on the team and only two behind cornerback Logan Ryan. Although Evans finished 24th in the league in tackles, he did finish top three in what Next Gen Stats calls “hustle stops”.
Hustle stops are defined as “tackles that result in a successful play for the defense where the player covers 20-plus yards of distance from snap to tackle”, according to Next Gen Stats.
Evans had 17 of them in 2019.
Fred Warner finished T-4th in hustle stops this season (16), showing off his ability to make plays with speed and range.
