I know that a NT should be decently high agi and even higher strength, but once those are capped what about the other attributes? For a lvl 20, where does everyone think these attributes should be at (assuming strength and agi are capped):

Vision
Confidence
Tackling
Speed

Confidence especially if you are NT
A bit of vision.
Enough tackling to tackle power backs
Enough speed to hurry the QB or chase down backs

my NT at L25 has 27.5 speed. i would think that should be sufficient for a NT, based on my opinion of the successful builds of real NFL NT's, but i'd bet he'd be much better with a speed near 40.

At minimum

Vision - 30s
Confidence - Assuming everything else is high enough I don't think your NT should worry much.
Tackling - 50s
Speed - 50s
Agility - 50s or 60s
Strength - 75+

My DT played NT Season 3 at Level 22 and recorded 71 Tackles and 15 Sacks, stats you'd think a DT could only obtain. Speed should be the 3rd major skill (not counting Tackling, Stamina, etc.).

Strength + Speed + Agility = Sacks and Tackles
Strength + Speed + Agility + Vision = Tackles

This is why I think Speed is important:

This is why I think Vision is important (although not a major attribute):

It's not about the level of the OL right now. We are talking about AFTER you pass the OL. If we are lucky we get Sacks where it's because of Agility if the QB doesn't run. But once the QB runs, you're there trying to chase him and that's when Speed kicks in.

My 2 cents. Might be worth more than that though

And if you think it's because of the OL I went up against, think again. My stats were better than my teammate DT, Big 'N Mean, and as he levled up he got his stats to be more like mine. Then coming 3rd Season I lined up NT and him at DT. I got more Tackles and Sacks than him. We switched positions in the scrimmage games and same story.

I agree with MHS. Get speed.
