Season so far
Ivan Pace Jr. has operated at a replacement level through two games in 2026, posting an overall grade of 65.5 across 81 snaps. His evaluation is highlighted by dynamic flashes as an interior pass rusher and aggressive downhill run defender, including a split sack and key short-yardage stops. However, these highlights are counterbalanced by consistent issues shedding climbing blocks in the running game and lapses in pass coverage. In addition, the bulk of his action has come via a large volume of neutral special teams snaps, which keeps his overall mark anchored near baseline. Pace's level of play has been exceptionally steady from week to week, moving from a 64.8 grade in Week 2 to a 65.1 in Week 3.
