Universal Coverage

The most physical coverage defenders prevent catches from happening even when their target has hands on the ball. When they enter the zone, they are nearly guaranteed knockouts.

Superstar abilities

Lurker

Defenders with this ability can make spectacular interceptions while lurking in zones, and are more likely to attempt and succeed at diving swats/catches. They also have an improved catch chance on tipped passes. Upgrades with COD, ZCV, and SPD.

silver

Medium Route KO

Defenders with this ability have an improved chance to succeed at catch tackle knockouts, and a longer knockout window, in man-to-man versus medium routes 10-20 yards from the LoS. Upgrades with MCV, COD, and ACC.

silver

Deep 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. Upgrades with ZCV, AWR, and PRC.
