He had 15 all of last year! He's matched it in 9 games! Most penalized single player in the league last year, as well, when he was still with the Patriots. By comparison, he only had 5 called on him in 2013 when he was previously in Seattle (where everybody on the team was doing it, on almost every play).

To me, this stat really sorta proves what people were saying about the Seahawks back in 2013 -- that they really were strategically committing defensive penalties on almost every play -- holding, bumping past 5 yards, illegal contact, mugging, punching face masks, grabbing jerseys, etc -- knowing full well that the refs would not dare to step in and call them on it, every single time, if it was blatant enough on play after play after play. But when it's only one guy alone on the team doing it, instead of the whole secondary, he stands out so badly that the ref pretty much HAS to reach for the hankie.
