Not by 18to88! I swear, I’ll pitch a freaking fit if he doesn’t go to the Pro Bowl.
After watching him in this game, and having him catch my eye on several others, I want to do a three-game, single-study piece on Session in the future. While he didn’t amass the enormous tackle totals he has in other games, he played the role of defensive instigator in this one. Over and over, he would set the tone for a stop by being there on first contact, allowing others to zero in. He’s a very fast defender, but he’s equally aware, and that’s an impressive combination.
Perhaps this is a common trait of the underrated defender — he’s the one who sets others up for success. His coaches and teammates love him for it, and those who watch with a careful eye appreciate the effort. But it’s the guy making a beeline for the ballcarrier who gets the recognition when the unheralded player is the one who bears watching — he’s the one setting up play after play for himself and others. This is true of Session, and also of our next defender.
