Finish path matters here: LB133 → LB105 is a breakout, not a development pitch; 2026 also ended early (1 games).

Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Sawyer had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing LB105. Coming off a real climb — LB133 to LB105 tells the story better than age. 2026 stopped at 1 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
