Model receipt
CB production emphasizes passer rating allowed, breakups, target avoidance, missed tackles, and availability.
The displayed performance component is recency-weighted across qualifying 2025, 2024 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.
