see, my question lies here:
is pd pass deflection
or pass defensed
pass defensed def includes ints
but pass deflection is just a tipped or one broken up
patsfan55,
I understand your question , "Is pd pass deflection or pass defensed?"
The site which provided the stat was yahoo, which does not seem to have a stats glossary which would define the meaning of pd. However, another site also lists Samuel leading the NFL with 24, under the category of pd. But they DO have a stats glossary.
Samuel is ranked #1 in the pd category with 24 here:
NFL NFC AFC NFL SORTABLE STATS, INDIVIDUAL -- Passes Defended
Here's their NFL stats glossary: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/865705
Individual Interceptions
Int Interceptions
Yds Yards from interception returns
Avg Average yards per interception return (Yds/Int)
TD Interceptions returned for touchdown
Long Longest interception return
PD Passes defended

In summation, I think we've proven that on both the college and NFL level, the categorized stat of pd, or passes defensed, or passes defended, does include interceptions.
Sorry to make a mountain from a mole hill.
BTW, 24 is very impressive.
