Linebacker Duane Thomas leads the team with 32 tackles, including five for loss. Safety Curtis Callands and Johnson have 23 tackles each. End Rashieem Reed and linebacker Brandon Neely have 22 tackles each. Safety James McCullough has a team-best two interceptions, while corner LeRoy Miller has three pass breakups.
