Passes defended per target: safeties ranked
How often a pass thrown at him ends with him breaking it up. A cornerback does this far more often than he intercepts.
Why the box score misses it: Passes defended are counted, but never against how often he was tested.
Best so far: Jevon Holland (NYG), 30%. A typical safety is 9%. Players need at least 10 targets to qualify, so nobody is ranked on a handful of plays.

How to read this table
- The number on the left is the league rank among safeties, even when the list is filtered to one team.
- “Against the league” draws each player on the same strip: the ends are the 10th-best and 90th-best player, the shaded stretch is the middle half, and the tick is the median. Right is always better.
- “Lately” is the change in grade between a player's last 2 games and the games before them. The tag says whether the change is bigger than what a few plays could cause.
- Tick “Show the box score” to put the traditional totals next to the advanced number and sort by either.
