While he’s a good FS and is underrated forcing teams to throw in front of them, he’s never been a “ball hawk” at that position.
He has 28 career INTs.
Earl Thomas has 30.
Eric Weddle had 29.
With defensive rules, the days are gone of a safety racking up 50-60 career picks. Ed Reed was the last one. McCourty is as good as any other safety in this era…but for a false narrative about his impact.
