Sometimes it’s difficult to tell if a player is improving on the field.

In the case of Nigel Warrior, it’s pretty easy to see that he is playing the best football of his career.

Warrior started the season out slow, but has brought the heat over the last six games. Before Tennessee’s bye week, Warrior averaged 3.5 total tackles per game. He had just six solo tackles (1.5 per game), with one interception and one pass defensed.

Since then, he’s had two 10-tackle games to go along with the following totals: 44 total tackles, 25 solo tackles, three interceptions and four passes defensed.
