Some context from Joe Goodberry on Trey Hendrickson, per a followup tweet:

Quote:Trey Hendrickson's rate is the 12th highest among qualifying edge defenders...and the rate is so high because Hendrickson doesn't make many tackles. He has 17 total tackles this year and 12 of them are from sacks. That's 5 other plays where he's made a tackle all year.

This is similar for all DL, as they usually aren't making many tackles, so any missed will be higher percentage.

Some DBs....
Geno Stone:
16 missed tackles, 53 solo tackles, 12 assists.
Stone's career missed tackle % is 18.8%.
For comparison, Jessie Bates is 13.9% missed tackles and career 12.6%

Dax Hill's is a bit skewed because of only 5 games, but his career % is 9.9%.
He was much more reliable as a tackler at FS.

Vonn Bell is also a career 9.9% missed tackles but he actually has lower miss % this year compared to 2022 when he missed 14.8%.
He was much better tackler with New Orleans compared to Cincy.
