What does the subcat “ST” mean? Just general “Special Teamer” all rookie team?

I don’t watch the chargers, but counting 67 snaps defensively and totaling only 22 tackles, a PD, and an Int it’s kind of remarkable he made the team. Not saying stats mean everything but I must be missing something. I love Nick so I'm happy he made it either way!

Tremendous Hawkeye family.
Congrats to the whole clan!
