Look: Ivan Pace Jr. Makes NFL History With Rookie Tackle Total

Originally posted on FanNation All Bearcats

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. made plenty of history this past season as an undrafted NFL player. That included his tackle mark of 102, which is the first time in NFL history an undrafted player has tallied at least 100 tackles as a rookie.

All in all, it won't be enough to have a UC alum lift the Defensive Rookie of the Year trophy in consecutive years, but Pace has cemented himself as an impact player in the league.

He finished the 2023 season with 102 tackles, 2.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one interception across 704 snaps.
