Abilities
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.
Deflator
Defenders with this ability will cause increased fatigue penalties when tackling a ballcarrier with a non-conservative tackle.
No Outsiders
Defenders with this ability use faster run shed moves for a better chance at shedding blocks against outside zone plays.
