Colts' DeForest Buckner: Records 68 tackles in 2021
Buckner racked up 68 tackles (40 solo), seven sacks and three pass defenses in 2021.
Buckner played in all 17 games during the 2021 campaign, and his production remained consistent during his second season with the Colts. The 27-year-old has now averaged 63.8 tackles across the last four years, and he's recorded at least seven sacks in each of those seasons. He signed a five-year, $105 million contract with Indianapolis ahead of the 2020 campaign, so he should continue to play a prominent role for the team in 2022.
