Devin Lloyd: facts drawn from the play-by-play.
From sideline-to-sideline tackler to coverage LB to pass rusher — a four-year arc with a different identity each year.

INTs by season — the coverage breakout
| Season | INTs |
|---|---|
| 2022 | 3 |
| 2023 | 0 |
| 2024 | 1 |
| 2025 | 5 |
The headline number for Lloyd over his 2024 + 2025 stretch is 188 combined tackles plus 6 INTs. He started his career as a high-volume but ball-skill-light tackler (0 INTs in 2023), and the coverage profile is now the thing he leads the league at: 5 INTs in 2025 is tied for the most by any LB.
The stranger arc is the QB-hits column. Jacksonville used him almost exclusively as an off-ball backer for two years, then unleashed him as a blitzer — 10 QB hits in 2025 is more than his first three seasons combined (8).
2022 LB class — only one is producing on three categories at once.
Comparison2022 draft class LBs — 2024 + 2025 totals
| Player | Total Tkls | Sacks | INTs | FF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quay Walker | 210 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| Nate Landman | 210 | 2 | 1 | 7 |
| Devin Lloyd | 188 | 3 | 6 | 1 |
| Nakobe Dean | 175 | 7 | 1 | 3 |
| Terrel Bernard | 154 | 1 | 3 | 0 |
| Jack Gibbens | 121 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Leo Chenal | 114 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
Among LBs drafted in 2022, Lloyd is the only one with 180+ tackles, 3+ sacks, and 6+ INTs across 2024-2025. Quay Walker has more tackles. Nakobe Dean has more sacks. But the three-dimensional production — run, pass-rush, coverage — is Lloyd's alone in the class.
The other notable: 6 INTs is more than his first-round classmate Walker's career total (0).
Tied for the most INTs by any LB in 2025.
Rare2025 LB INT leaders (regular season)
| Player | INTs |
|---|---|
| Ernest Jones | 5 |
| Devin Lloyd | 5 |
| Tremaine Edmunds | 4 |
| Mack Wilson | 3 |
| Azeez Al-Shaair | 3 |
| Devin Bush | 3 |
5 picks in 15 games as an off-ball linebacker is extraordinary. The 2025 leaderboard at LB has him tied with Ernest Jones for first — and Jones plays a higher percentage of zone-coverage snaps.
For a player whose 2023 season was 110 tackles and zero turnovers, the coverage transformation in two years is one of the largest at the position. The Jaguars have him playing more rover/dime LB than ever before, and it's converting takeaways.
2025 trade-off: fewer tackles, but every other column went up.
SplitLloyd per-game pace by season
| Year | G | Tkl/G | QB Hits | INTs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 17 | 6.4 | 2 | 3 |
| 2023 | 15 | 7.3 | 1 | 0 |
| 2024 | 16 | 6.8 | 5 | 1 |
| 2025 | 15 | 5.3 | 10 | 5 |
His 2025 tackle pace dropped from 6.8/game to 5.3/game — the lowest of his career. The bargain Jacksonville made was deliberate: more snaps on the second level in coverage, more scheme-blitz dimes (10 QB hits is a career high by a factor of 2).
The production is now in disruption stats, not volume. 5 INTs + 10 QB hits + 1 sack is a more impactful season than the 110-tackle box-score-leader version of him from 2023.
406 career tackles, 9 career INTs — already one of the most balanced LBs of his draft class.
MilestoneAcross four seasons in Jacksonville, Lloyd has logged 406 combined tackles, 3 sacks, 18 QB hits, 9 INTs, and 1 forced fumble in 63 regular-season games.
The 9 career INTs are particularly rare for an LB through year four. For context: Quay Walker (his draft classmate and the LB selected one pick ahead of him at #22) has 0 career interceptions through the same span. Lloyd was the 27th overall pick, but his coverage profile is now the better one.
