Projection Rationale
In 2025, Odighizuwa accumulated 16 solo tackles, 6 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. His Verdict production grade was at the 51st percentile, while his Verdict efficiency grade was at the 85th percentile. Odighizuwa’s 3-year, $60 million contract extension provides stability and role security.

Ceiling / Floor
