If his annual stats are negligible and/or his Productivity rating is low, he may never develop.

I think this might be where the problem is coming from. If player development in the game engine is tied to certain stats, then that poor DT will never get any. This strikes me as a flaw in the game, though, if only certain stats count as "development". There's no official stat for consistently tying up two Offensive Lineman---yet clearly development is taking place in a player that can do that.

I think I'll try moving him to an opportunistic position for a few games. If the game engine requires sacks or tackles to get the Progression Sliders moving, then that's what I'll have to do.

Thanks for the insight.
