The addition of Xavier McKinney at safety for the Green Bay Packers is going to provide an upgrade in a variety of ways, with improved tackling being one of the more noticeable differences.
Over his four year NFL career, McKinney has a missed tackle rate of just 6.9 percent, according to PFF. For some context, anytime a player is under 10 percent, they are fairly sound and reliable in that regard.
In 2023 specifically, McKinney made 115 of his 122 tackle attempts, missing only 5.7 percent of his opportunities. That missed tackle rate was the lowest among 61 eligible safeties.
