Is actually the most effective high leverage player in the league. I’ll see if I can find that again.
What it boils down to is even if he is only used 3-4 times a game, his ability to convert in such high leverage situations is off the charts and the “clutchness” and importance of those moments multiplies his impact by several times.

Because he’s a freak he also throws in a few special teams tackles just because he wants to.
