Projection Rationale
Knowles’ 2025 stat line of 2 solo tackles, 0 TFL, 0 sacks, 0 INT, 2 PD, and 0 FF indicates a decline in production. His Verdict grades show he ranked in the 10th percentile in production and 49th percentile in efficiency.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. Kevin Knowles’ Verdict durability grade is at the 75th percentile, and he is 23 years old, placing him in a relatively low-risk profile.
Opportunity Notes
Knowles’ snap share trended stable at 29.0% in 2025. However, the defensive back role is not secure due to competition from other defenders.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Steve Spagnuolo coordinates a 4-3 defense with a 31.4% blitz rate, which may limit Knowles’ ceiling. The 4-3 scheme typically favors tackling over pass coverage, which may not suit Knowles’ skillset.
