  • Had 405 tackles over the last four seasons (2021-24). He is one of just five NFL DBs to have 400+ tackles during that span (Budda Baker - 460; Derwin James - 451; Kevin Byard - 448; Julian Love - 422).

  • In Week 11 of the 2023 season at Houston, had a sack of Texans QB C.J. Stroud and a red zone INT. He joined S Budda Baker (one sack and an INT in Week 6 of 2020) as the only Cardinals DBs in the last 13 seasons to have a sack and an INT in a game.
  • The only Cardinals defender to start all 17 games in 2022, finished the year with 109 tackles, a tackle for loss, a QB hit, an INT, a career-high eight passes defensed and a fumble recovery.
