Defensive Line and Secondary Highlights

The defensive line’s overall strength is underscored by the presence of multiple top‑10 ranked players, including A'Mauri Washington and Bear Alexander, who bring veteran experience and pass‑rush prowess.

Meanwhile, the secondary’s top performers — Koi Perich, Brandon Finney Jr., and others — combine high ratings with versatile skill sets that could disrupt opposing passing attacks.
