Tyson has put together a highly productive defensive season that shows he is a consistent playmaker and a constant problem for opposing offenses. Finishing with 62 total tackles, including 37 solo stops, along with 14 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 24 QB hurries, 3 pass breakups, and 1 forced fumble, he has proven he can impact the game at every level of the defense. Those numbers reflect a player who is not just active, but disruptive—regularly getting into the backfield and forcing offenses to adjust their plans.
What stands out most about Tyson is his ability to create pressure and live in the backfield. His 14 TFLs and 24 QB hurries highlight how often he beats blockers to the point of attack, using effort, timing, and physicality to collapse plays before they can develop. He shows a strong motor and doesn’t stay blocked for long, consistently working to shed and redirect toward the football. In pass situations, he is especially impactful, forcing quarterbacks off their spot and creating uncomfortable decisions even when he doesn’t finish the sack.
Tyson also brings value in space and coverage situations, as shown by his 3 pass breakups, where he displays awareness and the ability to react quickly to the ball. His forced fumble adds to his reputation as a momentum-changer who can swing possession in key moments. Overall, Tyson plays with intensity, production, and consistency, and his stat line reflects a defender who is becoming a reliable and disruptive presence.
