Long has 18 catches allowed, career. And passes defensed = 17 + 3 INTs is 20 and that is two more than “completions allowed”
More plays on the ball than completions allowed?
That’s a crazy stat.
There’s even more.

– Michigan CB David Long is the definition of what it means to be a shutdown corner. According to Pro Football Focus, he was one of the best defensive players all of last year. While you won’t see the number of picks or pass break ups you’d might like to see on the statsheet, there’s a reason for that. Not many opposing offenses choose to target him. He only allowed 9 receptions all season & ranked 2nd with a 32.3% forced incompletion percentage. While he is ranked among the top corners in the draft, he rarely gets talked about enough.
