LB production balances tackling, pressure, non-sack disruption, coverage results, breakups, and missed tackles.

The displayed performance component is recency-weighted across qualifying 2025, 2023 seasons.

Prospect pedigree and testing are context only; qualifying NFL production is authoritative.

OVR uses the validated one-season baseline because it outperformed the prior composite in the 2024-2025 walk-forward audit.

The non-QB forecast target is next-season position-relative production, not an independent film or talent grade.
