Season so far
Lukas Van Ness has posted a detrimental 53.2 overall grade through 49 snaps in his lone appearance of the 2026 season. Because he has only played in one contest so far, it is still very early to establish a definitive season-long trajectory. His play in Week 3 was primarily dragged down by edge containment breakdowns against the run, where he earned a 53.2 run defense grade after surrendering multiple explosive gains on the perimeter. His pass rush was similarly limited to a 55.3 grade, as he was frequently ridden past pocket depth. Though he flashed positive impact with an inside penetration tackle and disciplined containment on a bootleg to force intentional grounding, his overall consistency remained net-negative.
