I was impressed with the way he stepped up his game the second half of last year.
First 11 games only had 9 tkls, 4 QB Hits, 1 sack, and zero PDs
Last 8 games he had 14 tackles, 9 QB Hits, 2.5 sacks, and 3 PDs
And, of course, he made one of the biggest defensive plays of the year on the Bengals' last defensive snap in the Chiefs game. His 3rd down sack of Mahomes not only stopped the Chiefs drive, but it backed them up so that the FG attempt was 55 yards. Butker missed and we held on to win 27-24.
