2022 BEST RATED TACKLING SAFETIES
A safety is the last line, so the tackling grade carries more weight here than anywhere else in the secondary. It scores tackles made against tackles missed, from depth and in the box, with penalties for the misses that turn into long touchdowns. Eric Berry (Tennessee) and Mark Barron (Alabama) both tackled at a linebacker’s standard.
The table ranks this year’s draft-eligible safeties by tackling grade, alongside run defense, zone coverage, man and press coverage, and overall rating.
