Lavelle? What's he the best at? Not racking up stats for sure. But at the same time, Lavelle is the only lockdown cornerback in the league. Take a look at the most recent Wraiths v Yeti game, whilst the game did end with a loss primarily due to a tired defense and anemic offense, Lavelle was lined up with Yeti #1, Kendrick Hendrix for nearly every single snap.
What was Hendrix's stat line for the game?
Not only are those stats an impressive showing of Lavelle's dominance, but also take into account that one of those catches, Lavelle wasn't even assigned to Hendrix. Taking that into account, in a full 60 minutes game, the #1 wide receiver of the Colorado Yeti managed 1 catch, 11 yards and 0 touchdowns when covered by Lavelle.
The stat sheet doesn't show respect to cornerbacks and more often than not the best cornerbacks will be snubbed for probowl selection due to them not allowing a player to even make a catch on them.
Lavelle's season stats have him at the 13th best corner back in the league with 5 games remaining. An off year for sure for Lavelle according to stats but how do we know he and many other corner backs like Tyler Oles aren't locking down wide receivers so much that the QB doesn't even throw their way?
