Model receipt
Interior-line production uses pressure, non-sack backfield disruption, tackling, missed tackles, forced fumbles, and availability.
The displayed performance component is recency-weighted across qualifying 2025 seasons.
The non-QB forecast target is next-season position-relative production, not an independent film or talent grade.
