Well for my player, I have never had an outstanding season packed with eye-popping stats. My player is the consummate professional --- he checks into work and does his job, and does it well. I have yet to play one season of being a liability, but it is easy to say many seasons I have underperformed, especially when compared to my cornerback contemporaries. My rookie year epitomized how my career would shake out: I had the ability to provide contributions to nearly every statistical category, but I did not necessarily dominate anywhere.
The one stat I have been at best is catch rate percentage. I always tend to lead the top of that category, and that's with me guarding #1 receivers 4/7 of my pro years. I've had a season with sacks, a season with blocked kicks/punts, a season with 100+ tackles, a season near the top of the leaderboard in pass deflections. One hope would be that this year would be the year I can have the full array of stats, as I currently lead the league in forced fumbles.
My true wish would be that one season I could finish top two in the league in interceptions. It is rough knowing that in a 16 game season, I am lucky to finish with more than 4 interceptions. Meanwhile, there are always random corners that are a tier or two lower than me that seem to turn into Champ Bailey and finish with 8 or 9 picks. The worst part is that I usually watch them have their breakout games against my team. Also, interceptions are obvious game changers and I only have one defensive touchdown in my entire career. I hope I can get two more before I retire. But in the meantime, I just like being consistent and not looking like a sieve. When other star receivers say they hate being guarded by me, that's all I need to know that I'm okay.
