meh.
It boosts tackling score and can affect your FF score slightly.
If you're a STer based on making secure tackles... sure, I guess. If you're a STer based on fumbles I'd skip it.
Also Wrap up tackle/Diving Tackle are better than gang tackle because they work all the time as long as you make the right type of tackle, while gang tackle requires other dots to be in the vicinity.

What do you think about it for a DT with relatively low tackling? They would seem to always be in the vicinity of other players

eh.
I'd still pass. You only get the boost if you attempt the tackle, so having low tackling would mean you'd have less chances for the SA to fire. Assuming you are building a low tackling DT, he's probably not meant to be dominant against the run. Probably mainly built to break blocks as efficiently as possible. So I would rather spend SP's on making that DT even better at what he excels at. If you even really considered Gang Tackle for a DT, I would assume it'd be on a run stuffing build with high str, Agi, and Tack.

Actually its a run stuffing & pass deflection build. I did it at the end of my carreer for an old dt and had a lot of success with it. I'm building two DT's with high strength, agility, vision and jumping. Unfortunately I have to take away from a few attributes so speed and tackling will be a little lacking. I've started towards the PD build out now and am having some success, cant wait to finish it up to see what happens. I really just want to piss QB's off by having both guys start in the middle knocking down passes
