While everyone has focused on the dominant Yellowknife Wraiths offense, the defense has quietly put together an okay season. While WRs and QBs and a certain RB (Kennedy) have put up historically large numbers, most people have glossed over some defensive contributors. While the point differential isn't too pretty, allowing 23 points per game, the defense has given the offense a chance to win every game. Even on the defense, the dominant D-Line gets most of the attention. The most underrated player on the Wraiths, and possibly the most underrated secondary player in the league, is Clee Hardrool. Again, quietly compared to the offense, the defense has recorded 11 interceptions (tied for 1st) and 23 sacks (tied for 2nd). So the defense has been exciting. Clee Hardrool has led the team in tackles and INTs. He also has 2 sacks and 3 pass deflections. In 6 games, that is an incredible stat line. 6 tackles, 0.5 INTs, 0.5 PDs, and 0.3 sacks per game is really good for a Safety in this league. So again, while the offense gets all the glory and the attention for the 5-1 record YKW has so far this season, the defense has held it together well, and a lot of that thanks should be directed for Clee Hardrool for his stat line so far this season.
