Model receipt
Safety production balances coverage results, breakups, tackling, pressure, backfield disruption, and missed tackles.
The displayed performance component is recency-weighted across qualifying 2025, 2024, 2023 seasons.
Prospect pedigree and testing are context only; qualifying NFL production is authoritative.
The non-QB forecast target is next-season position-relative production, not an independent film or talent grade.
