He is also 4^th in LBs with 78 and 3^rd in CTOs with 13.  Another DPOY award coming?  Teammate Brad Kri may have something to say about that, he sits 2^nd in the league with 18 CTOs and 6^th in LBs at 65.
• Latrell Harris needs 5 loose balls to reach 500 in his career.
• TD Ierlan is 23 faceoff wins away from 400 in his career.
