Since about half the NFL employs a 3-4 defense, the list of qualifying starters can't be much more than 60 or so. In other words, compared to other starting DT/NTs around the league, he ranks poorly. That is what my eyes have been telling me for two years now.
THE DI PFF ratings seem to be inflated, where RB rankings are lower.
I think DI is a simplier position and harder to screw things up too bad at. Whereas RB, you have to do a lot of stuff there that you could mess up, like pass protection. For instance, if a RB gives up a sack...that's a big thing. Fans might not even notice it, if the guy carries the ball good. But that sack was a big thing in the game.
