In 64 career games (38 starts), Maddox totaled 245 tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 31 pass deflections, four interceptions, three sacks, eight forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery. He's also played in seven playoff games with the team since being drafted in the fourth round out of Pittsburgh. Maddox moved to nickel cornerback in 2019, went back to the outside in 2020, and moved inside again in 2021. In that year, he established himself as one of the league's best nickel cornerbacks, grading out as a Top 20 overall cornerback by Pro Football Focus and earning a contract extension.
