After ranking below teammate Cameron Heyward as an IDP for years, Tuitt has closed that gap. In his last 1,060 snaps, Tuitt has 67 tackles with 14.5 sacks, and last year he was on pace for about 830 snaps over 16 games. That production rate applied to that snap count projects for about 50 tackles and 11.5 sacks, meaning few defensive linemen have been as productive as Tuitt in recent years. His problem is staying healthy — Tuitt hasn't played 16 games since his 2014 rookie season. With a little luck in the health department, Tuitt could have a big year.
