Reinforcement
The game's top defenders excel in all situations. When they enter the zone, this ability increases their chance of defeating run blocks, and disrupting catches via tackles.
Secure Tackler
Defenders with this ability have an increased chance to avoid fakeouts. Upgrades with TAK and PUR.
Flat Zone KO
Defenders with this ability have an improved chance to force catch knockouts, a longer knockout window, and react quicker in any flat zone coverage, less than 10 yards from the LoS and outside the hash marks. Upgrades with ZCV, PRC, and ACC.
Lumberjack
Defenders with this ability have an increased success rate and cause more fumbles when cut-sticking ballcarriers. Upgrades with POW, STR, and TAK.
