Shutdown

Shutdown defenders have the talent to erase receivers from the game. When they enter the zone, their coverage is tighter and interceptions are more frequent on contested catches.

Superstar abilities

Deep Out Zone KO

Defenders with this ability have an improved chance to force catch knockouts, a longer knockout window, and react quicker in deep zone coverage, 20+ yards from the LoS and outside the hash marks. Upgrades with ZCV, SPD, and AWR.

silver

Bench Press

Defenders with this ability apply a small amount of bonus fatigue to their man coverage target after a successful press win. Upgrades with STR and CTH.

silver

One Step Ahead

Defenders with this ability have an increased chance to react much faster to receiver cut moves when in man coverage. Upgrades with MCV, COD, and PRC.
