Defenders with this ability do not allow broken tackles and cause more fumbles when cut-sticking ballcarriers.

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.
Persistent
Players with this ability are harder to knock out of The Zone
