TT is correct. STOP = Special Teams Only Player.
Most "STOP" dots use the ST-Archetype, but from time to time you'll see dots that follow one of the other Archetypes but are still built specifically just for Special Teams duties and make use of VAs like Special Teamer and Distance Runner.
Which brings up an interesting side-point with the Archetypes... the names of the Archetypes are just that: names. All that really matters with an Archetype is what its Major and Minor Attributes are and how you can use those to your advantage in building the dot you want to build. There is no law or rule that says that you have to follow your Archetype name in terms of how you use your dot. If you think a Man-Coverage Archetype CB would make a great Special-Teams dot, you can do it. If you think an ST-Archetype WR would make a good blocker for an all-rushing team, you can do it. If you think a passing-archetype QB can be built to be a rushing QB, you can do it. Use some creativity and imagination.

would have been a good question for Ben Rothlisberger to ask when he was still in high school

Sample of a "STOP"

Blocks and tackles above avg, not great at both but takes up valuable ST positions left for regular players on the team:
