Almost all of his goals have come from corners, I've seen most of them and all except one were. I wonder if he can keep a rate like this.

The main question: Have you had high scoring defenders who maintain a 5-10 goal scoring rate throughout several seasons or do you think those are just random sprees?

Additional question with introduction if you're interested: My player has a 190% heading stat and aerial def ability (which I don't think affects attacking corners), but I have attacking players with similar heading who don't score close to as much from corners. There's been talk about internal quality of players that you can't see on the surface, so could there be internal variance on players that not only make them better or worse as a whole, but also affect the ability to perform single functions better or worse like scoring from corners?
I think it comes and goes, maybe depending on balance of rest of squad, my left back 2 seasons ago chipped in with goals and assists, last season he didn't seem to get involved, but this season he started seeming more involved again. last season my 18 year old striker scored most goals in my team and 2nd in league whilst I trained him a free kick SA, this season he hasn't scored so much despite him now having the free kick SA and is improving his quality through training now which he wasn't last season.
