Cruickshank delivered a standout all-around performance, making his presence felt in every phase of the defense. He was active in the flats disrupting passing lanes, brought pressure off the edge as a pass rusher, and held strong against the run. His versatility and high motor allow him to impact the game from multiple spots, making him one of the more impressive defensive performers on the field.
