How is a guy with zero sacks, zero turnovers, a power 5 teams best defender? ⬇️
Because nose tackle impact doesn’t show up in traditional stats. “Big Citrus” dominated Iowa’s elite o-line for 52 snaps without flashy numbers.
This is a problem I see with linemen I coach privately. Great performance, no stats, suddenly they think they failed.
Coordinators know your value. Coaches see your impact. The box score doesn’t capture everything.
Against Iowa: 5 stops, 2 hurries, 33 A-gap snaps of pure disruption. The numbers don’t show the constant double teams or how he freed up teammates.
To every lineman: you can dominate without traditional stats. Your impact matters beyond the box score.
Take pride in your work regardless of numbers.
