Grant, 27, played 100% of the defensive snaps in 2022 and 83% in 2023. Over those two seasons, he amassed 226 tackles, three interceptions, three sacks, and 13 passes defensed.
Through four NFL seasons, Grant has totaled 275 tackles (10 for a loss), six quarterback hits, three sacks, 17 passes defensed, three interceptions, and four forced fumbles in 67 game appearances (33 starts).
