I have it on like 5 breakout players

Through like 10 games, it has not lit up once

The only reason I was running zone was becuase of midzone ko

Probably gonna go back to man defense

Feels like my opponents receivers catch the ball better since I’ve equipped my knockouts tbh.

It has to be a very specific area of the field for the KO to light up. Per the ability, it only should light up under the following scenario:

Player must be in a mid-field zone coverage assignment (IE a yellow zone)
Throw must be less than 20 yards downfield and inside the numbers, OR
Throw must be between 10 and 20 yards downfield and outside the numbers

So if you're someone expecting this to light up in a Curl/Flat zone, it breaks condition #1. If you're someone who is blitzing your user by default and then dropping into coverage, that breaks condition #1 as well.

I haven't had the chance to test this out because there's just not enough players that have it right now, but in the past I've had pretty good amount of luck with it lighting up over the middle on short drag routes.
