Defensive impact in the NFL is notoriously difficult to quantify. Sacks and tackles capture individual production, but disruption, coverage grades and run-stopping ability paint the complete picture of defensive excellence.

Cortez Kennedy wins this head to head comparison decisively — 4 categories to 1. The 544.4% gap in Sacks alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Cortez Kennedy's statistical superiority in this NFL career comparison.
