Official r/NFL Week 6 Power Rankings

Week 6 Official NFL Power Rankings are here! With almost half of the top ten teams losing and almost half of bottom ten winning, look for shakeups galore. Who's ready to be mad? Discuss! 32/32 Reporting
# Team Δ Record Comment
1. Chiefs +2 5-1 The Chiefs bounced back in a big way against the Bills by...running the ball? Kansas City rushed for the most yards in a game since 2012, and this was the most rushing yards by an Andy Reid led team ever. Clyde Edwards-Helaire had an impressive night running the ball behind a patchwork offensive line that still had an amazing day. Nick Allegretti and Daniel Kilgore, especially, performed amazingly. If this rushing attack can continue and the defense can continue to also play well, the Chiefs will add another sorely needed dimension to their arsenal. An arsenal Le'Veon Bell is now powering up.
2. Seahawks -- 5-0 Week 6 saw the Seahawks become the only undefeated team left in the NFC. Look for that to continue this week in Arizona. Russell Unlimited is coming for that MVP vote baby. 😎
3. Ravens +1 5-1 5-1 going into the bye with an offense that does not look great, but the 20+ streak lives on another week. The Ravens really fought off some refball valiantly as the game ended, but that defense was ferocious, and the offense can keep experimenting as teams get HUMPED!!!!!
4. Steelers +2 5-0 Although the Steelers have one less game played for cumulative stats, even on average, the defense is near the top of the NFL in most categories. A depleted Browns team found that out the hard way when their promising start was interrupted with a rude wake-up call, courtesy of Pittsburgh's defense. Cleveland came into that game arguably the hottest rushing team in the league and were held to just 75 yards. Now, after 4 straight home games, the Steelers have to try and continue this pace with 4 of 5 on the road starting at Tennessee to decide who will potentially be left with a perfect record in the AFC.
5. Titans -- 5-0 Derrick Henry had another 200+ 2 TD rushing game and outgained the Jets, Bears, Giants, Browns and Packers in total yards on Sunday. All attention turns to the upcoming battle of two 5-0 teams against the Steelers.
6. Packers -5 4-1 apolgy for poor run d. when were you when aron threw pick6? i was at house eating dorito when phone ring. "aron is kil". "no"
7. Buccaneers +6 4-2 The Buccaneers played a romper stomper on Sunday, upsetting the undefeated Packers 38-10 (after starting down 10-0). Ronald Jones rolled through his third straight 100 yard rushing game, the defense generated 24 pressures on Aaron Rodgers (including 2 interceptions), and 0 penalties were committed. If this is the Buccaneer football the team produces for the rest of the year, they will be a contender deep into playoffs. Next up, the Las Vegas Raiders, where Center Rodney Hudson is expected to go AWOL in Tijuana the night before the big game.
8. Bills -1 4-2 The Bills are reeling off of two straight losses, and for the first time in years most of the blame can go on the defense. No semblance of a pass rush, and an anemic run D have plagued the team in two consecutive weeks now. With that being said: the Bills are 4-2, lead their division by a game, go into what should be a “gimme” against an awful Jets team, and Josh Allen is still a franchise QB. Things could be a lot better, but they could also be a whole lot worse.
9. Rams -1 4-2 The 2020 NLCS had it all: Close battles, big blowouts, amazing defensive plays, grand slams, TOOTBLANs, and best of all, blowing a 3-1 lead. The Dodgers are now headed to their third World Series in four years, and while immensely grateful to the Rays for eliminating the cheaters, after a decade of postseason pain, the mantra among Dodger fans is “please just win it this time.”
10. Bears +4 5-1 Have the Bears earned your respect yet? Their defense continues to flash hard hits, rattle quarterbacks, and keep teams out of the endzone. The Monsters rank in the top (bottom?) 6 in points allowed, yards/play allowed, touchdowns given up, and third down conversions. They lead the league in red zone defense too -- allowing opponents to score a touchdown on only 36%! of red zone possesions. The biggest weakness of this team is clearly the offensive line, which can't seem to find a way to open up room to run no matter who they're facing. The next three games (@LAR, NOS, @TEN) may determine for many if the Bears are contenders or simply good-but-not-great.
11. Raiders -1 3-2 The Raiders score points on 56% of their drives, averaging 3.04 points per drive, both of which are near, or tops in the league. They will need to keep scoring at a similar or better pace against the Bucs who are coming off a very strong win against the Packers this week. The Raiders have a few key players returning from injury this week which should help bolster their defense which is coming off a strong performance against the Chiefs their last time out. Holding them to only 8 points in the second half of the Raiders dominant win.
12. Saints -1 3-2 Much like how Fulcanelli, it's clear Sean Payton possesses great knowledge which can be used to improve his team, but he needs to ensure it doesn't get lost; as with Fulcanelli's knowledge after the Liberation of Paris. The Saints need to put the bye round to good use to ensure this team snaps out of the mire of mediocrity it's been stuck in to start the season lest the resurgent Bucs and Panthers overtake them.
13. Cardinals +3 4-2 That was one of the more memorable Monday Night Football games for Cardinals fans. The Red Rifle had Cardinal hunting in mind, but Budda Baker and the defense were having none of it as they mostly shut down the Cowboy offense and created 4 turnovers. On offense Murray's throws were a little off, but the team seemed much more balanced and fluid as Kenyan Drake had a huge game on the ground. Hopefully the team can use this as momentum as they'll face a well rested division leading Seahawks team next week.
14. Colts +1 4-2 The Colts dug themselves out from under a 21-0 deficit and managed to escape with a 31-27 victory on Sunday. The death of Phillip Rivers has been postponed temporarily; 17 made it happen in his best game as a Colt to date. Extra shout out to Jack Doyle for hauling in a beautiful TD. At 4-2, Indy looks to catch up with the resurgent Titans for control of the AFC South.
15. Browns -6 4-2 Browns fans have a lot to reflect on after the Steelers game. The Browns will take on the Bengals, at home, in a game everyone is sure to tune into.
16. 49ers +2 3-3 The return of Emmanuel Moseley changed the entire look of the defense. Instead of being a weakness, the secondary looked like the strength of the defense against the Rams this week. On the other side of the ball, the Offensive line played a flawless game, allowing 0 sacks on Jimmy G. Both sides of the football will have to be at the top of their game for the stretch of games ahead (@NE, @Sea, GB, @NO, @LAR).
17. Patriots -5 2-3 Hard to gauge what's going on with the team without practice, that being said they did not look great against the Broncos. Pats need a boring week of normalcy leading up to the Niners.
18. Dolphins +1 2-3 Between Mike Gesicki, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Christian Wilkins the Dolphins players are clearly representing the fanbase's excitement for the team very, very well! And while everyone is happy that we finally saw Tua on the field for a couple of passes in mop-up duty after another well won game over a bad team, it clearly meant something more for Tua to get on the field for the first time since his injury in college.
19. Panthers -2 3-3 For a lot of people, failing against the Bears will come as a "We are who they thought they were" moment for the Panthers. But a closer look reveals this: The Panthers have either been in control of or within one possession of every single game they've played in 2020. It's likely not our year, but that's an impressive feat for a team that was supposed to be one of the League's worst going into the season.
20. Chargers +1 1-4 The Chargers didn't blow it this weekend, and about six livers are probably thankful for it. Now the rest of the week can be spent worrying about how this team could shoot itself in the foot against the super spoopy Jaguars.
21. Broncos +5 2-3 242 yards. For a running back or a wide receiver, that'd be an all-time great game. For Brandon McManus, that's just another day at the office. On the leg of their longest-tenured active player, plus a little help from the active hands of Shelby Harris, the Broncos exited Massachusetts with their first win in Foxborough since Jake Plummer. A season not quite dead and not quite alive gets its next test when Mahomes comes to town on Sunday.
22. Lions +3 2-3 A Lions win delivers happiness, excitement, and confusion. Not that the Lions beat the lowly Jaguars, but the Lions dominated from the first snap. They held the lead for the entire game, and beat the Jaguars on both sides of the ball. HC Matt Patricia stated they would be "simplifying" the defense in order to have results NOW, and god damn it finally worked. Does this save his job? No, but consistent performances like that will definitely earn a second look. Next week at ATL, are the teams going to fight over who gets to blow the double digit lead first? Tune in next week!
23. Texans -- 1-5 From the beginning to the very last seconds the Texans were in the game and pushing to win. Aggression was their watchword and for the first time in a long time the Texans were undeniably entertaining to watch. The difference in the team since BoB's firing is obvious, and I think fans can be rightfully proud of this team again. When the worst part of a game was having to listen to Rich Gannon demonstrate loudly how little he knows about strategy, you know it's been a Sunday afternoon well spent.
24. Eagles -- 1-4-1 The Philadelphia Eagles Practice Squad did their best against the Ravens but were unable to complete the comeback. Injuries and losses continue to pile up with virtually no end in sight. The only saving grace: the NFC East is so historically bad that the Eagles, with 1 win in 6 games, sit in 2nd place.
25. Cowboys -5 2-4 The Dallas Cowboys have continued their drunken shuffle sideways, falling the least far from the top of shit mountain. They rotated out which key players were injured, so that was a nice change of pace. Fans have started to shift playoff expectations from a potential Superb Owl push to picking in the early 20s with a 5-11 record.
26. Falcons +4 1-5 Prospective employers are crossing Dan Quinn off in droves, whose incompetent body of work at this point is nothing short of a creative masterpiece. Under new leadership Atlanta looks as sleek as their new jerseys, holding a lead for the first win of the season. Meanwhile, fans have undergone the quickest 180 in recent memory, from Trevor tanking to 11-5 hopefuls in just under five business days.
27. Vikings -5 1-5 Justin Jefferson's stat line from Sunday: 9 catches, 166 yards, 2 TDs, 1 reason to live.
28. Bengals -1 1-4-1 How to lose close games and & alienate players. A memoir by Zac Taylor, coming soon.
29. Washington FT -1 1-5 Washington Football Team and the Giants both came in with aspirations of being the least in the east but when it came time to win the game, Washington showed true losing heart and just wanted it less.
30. Jaguars -1 1-5 The Jacksonville Jaguars are very bad at the sport of American football. Fans call for leadership changes, however it seems the beatings will continue until morale improves.
31. Giants -- 1-5 An ugly win is still a win. But boy, was this one ugly. Staredowns and inexplicable lobs into the air resulting in picks continue to plague Daniel Jones, and the offensive playcalling leaves much to be desired. Thankfully, the defense continues to (mostly) impress. The Giants have little time for celebration on their first win of the season, though, as they'll head to Philly on a short week to see who wants to lose the NFC East title more.
32. Jets -- 0-6 Immediately following the game in Miami, the Jets traded DL Steve McLendon to the Bucs, who promptly got into his car and drove straight to Tampa. We should all be so luc

2020 Week 6 Consolidated Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - (FantasyPros, NFL, CBS, BleacherReport, SI, Sporting News)

Edit: I removed the accuracy grades since I felt it was a poor assessment of the projections. It was poorly weighted and the sits, in particular, weren't being judged properly.
Welcome to Week 6! That might have been the greatest Tuesday Night Football game I have ever seen. One for the books for sure.

2020 Week 3 Consolidated Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - (FantasyPros, NFL, CBS, BleacherReport, SI, Sporting News)

*NEW* ADDED ACCURACY GRADES!
I added a new row above each source to show how many of the projections they have gotten right so far. The way I judged it is if they were within 1 point of the Yahoo projected points. If a player gets injured or does not play I don't count that in the total. You can also find the total season count of all projections in the source table below.

r/NFL Top 100 Players of the 2019 Season - #10-6

Welcome to the reveal for players ranked 10-6 for this year’s NFL Top 100 Players for the 2019 Season!

Players whose average rank had them land in places 10-6 are on this portion of the list revealed today. Players are associated with the team they finished 2019 with.
Below you will see write-ups from rankers summarizing the players' 2019 season and why they were among the best in 2019. Stats for each player are from this season and are included below. Additionally, their previous ranks in this long running series are also available for all of you.
Methodology
LINK TO THE HUB POST WITH A MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE METHODOLOGY
  1. A CALL FOR RANKERS just after the Super Bowl.
  2. Rankers for each team nominated players to rank. 10 Games Played Minimum Threshold. Players are associated with the team they finished the 2019 Season with.
  3. The Grind. Utilize ranking threads for individual rankers broken up by positional group. Users were tasked with ranking players within the following tiers based on their evaluation: T-25, T-50, T-100, T-125 based on 2019 regular season only. There were no individual case threads. There were no arbitrary position limit caps. Just questions and rankings.
  4. Users submitted their individual Top 125 list. Ranking out to 125 is new for this year.
  5. User lists were reviewed for outliers by me with assistance from two former rankers. Users were permitted to correct any mistakes found. Once complete, lists were locked.
  6. Reveal the list… right now.
So now, without further ado, here are the players ranked 10-6 in the NFL Top 100 Players of the 2019 Season!

#10 - Tre’Davious White - Cornerback - Buffalo Bills

Written By: jiggs_
Introduction
Even in high school, it was obvious that Tre'Davious White was bound to be the greatest at his position. In fact, in his entire high school career he never gave up a single goal. I am, of course, referring to White's hockey career. In fact, looking just at the numbers, Tre White isn't just good, he is the greatest goalie in the entire state of Louisiana. Coming out of the Tre White Goalie Academy, many thought he would have chosen to be a hockey player, but luckily for the NHL he decided that football was where he truly belonged.
Look, I know I just wasted a paragraph of an important top-10 writeup to get a pity laugh (pls?) from you all, but I think it's important to understand that the Buffalo Bills have never been an organization with a player like Tre White. The players that join the Bills are usually guys who keep their heads down and (try to) do their jobs well. Hell, the most exciting thing our players did in the decade before Tre White is dance in an Applebee's. And that's fine, if you're winning, but when you lose for so long I almost feel I'm missing a big part of the NFL fandom experience because they are all just so… boring. And it feels almost directly opposite of the fan experience that we have. Bills Mafia is outspoken and, quite honestly, batshit insane, so it would be nice to have a player who without question shows that football in Buffalo is more than just hard work, it's fucking fun. So please excuse me for wanting to make sure that White's personality (and his ability to perfectly emulate the voice of Vontae Davis) is being showcased just as much as his ability as a top corner in the NFL.
The 2019 Season
Now let's get down to the facts, because what is PFFs SIXTEENTH ranked cornerback doing in our top ten? Tre'Davious White allowed a 46.3 Passer Rating when targeted (2nd only behind JC Jackson), had six interceptions (tied-1st in NFL among qualified CBs), and allowed zero touchdowns all season (1st place, obviously). Tre White hardly ever gives up a big play, but if he does he sure as hell isn't going to let you in the endzone. Limiting touchdowns on big plays gives way for the Bills to make stops and force crucial field goals which kept our subpar offense in games.
To add on top of the discussed stats above, Tre White also spent much of his time shadowing top receivers, which makes his stat sheet even more incredible. It also makes the ranking given by PFF even more baffling, considering we pull all of our stats from THEIR SITE. But I digress. Tre White is technically a zone cornerback, but the Bills smartly use him quite a bit to cover top receivers in a fairly convoluted match zone scheme (along with running man coverage a decent amount of time, as well). Here are some notable PFF shadow coverage stats for Tre White. Against OBJ he gave up only three catches on ten targets for 27 yards, effectively shutting down the Browns' top passing threat for the entire game. He also shadowed Courtland Sutton (1/7, 27Yds), Terry McLaurin (3/4, 27Yds), and Amari Cooper (3/6, 37Yds). These aren't only good players, they are great players. Many actually found themselves on this very list, and most had their worst game of the season up against Tre White. Lastly, my favorite stat among all of this was posted by Warren Sharp a couple months ago, when he said “Since 2006, White is the only player to lead the NFL in interceptions without allowing a single TD. 2019: 6 INTs, 2 forced fumbles, 4 tackles for loss. He just turned 25.” A truly mind-blowing stat, considering the last one to do this was future HOFer Champ Bailey.
Now I think I will showcase some film work of guys who have gone through more time and effort to make a logical breakdown of some of Tre White's best plays/games. First, we have Baldy's Breakdowns. Ignoring the god awful film quality, Baldy does a fairly good job of highlighting some of the stuff that Tre White did to cool off a red hot Courtland Sutton. It's not super detailed work, but studying CBs isn't exactly the most glamorous thing. Next, we have an (admittedly long) breakdown of just about every aspect of Tre's game. As usual with these smaller accounts, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the film work here. Tre White's anticipation, in particular, stands out constantly on film and shows just how much work he puts in preparing before every game to know every route he will see. Lastly, I will link the NFL Turning Point from this year. This one is obviously leaving out the fact that it's against Duck Hodges, but it should not discount how fantastic Tre White played throughout the whole game. In particular, his interception against James Washington is of note as some fantastic technique against a double move.
In summation, Gilmore and White were head and shoulders above the other CBs this season, so seeing them both in the top 10 was no surprise. I do think Tre White has a legitimate case for CB1 of 2019, but it's tough to argue against the DPOY and not sound like a homer.
Legacy
Tre'Davious White is 25 years old. We just (obviously) took his fifth year option and I fully expect the Bills to offer him CB1 money. A cornerback like Tre White is not only fantastic for every scheme in the NFL, but even moreso under McDermott in particular. Our zone bilitz scheme (reminiscent of Jimmie Johnson), needs top tier talent in coverage to make up for the relatively simple zone structure that a good QB can use against the defense if not disguised properly. Being able to place a top receiver on an island in any scheme is a luxury that does not come around often, and to have someone doing that at 25 is even more insane. Therefore, I truly believe we are witnessing a hall of fame career that has blossomed right before our eyes, and it is truly a treat to watch him work every week. Not to mention all of the dance moves I have since been able to master thanks to watching the master himself.

Introduction
Step aside J.J there is a new Watt brother in-charge. The former Wisconsin product originally came to college as a Tight End prospect but made the transition to the defensive side of the ball in 2015. After an incredible 2016 season Watt found himself in the discussion of first-round edge rusher prospects, but due to his rawness at the position fell all the way to pick #30 (Sorry Packers fans) to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since then the Steelers haven’t thought twice about selecting Watt who has quickly developed into one of the league’s most dominant figures on the edge. TJ Watt’s presence on the Steelers defense has been immense, as the Steelers have led the league in sacks per game over each of the three years since he entered the league. This past season we saw the Steelers defense return to the days of the Steel Curtain and nearly carry the league’s worst offense into the playoffs.
The 2019 Season

Sacks QB Hits Passes Deflected Forced Fumbles Interceptions Tackles for Loss
14.5 36 8 8 2 14
At first glance at T.J Watt’s statistics from last year, it is easy to see why he was a finalist for the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award and selected as the teams 2019 MVP. Watt’s impressive ability to rush the passer helped the Steelers claim the third-ranked pass defense, as well as, the fifth-best defense in terms of total yardage. In a season filled with some of the dullest offensive play the NFL may have ever seen, the new era of the Steel Curtain was able to create enough turnovers to keep this team in the playoff hunt, much to the credit of T.J. Watts NFL leading 8 fumbles (most in Steelers history) and 36 QB hits helping to force bad passes (2019 highlights). It felt as though in each and every game Watt was consistently making plays and disrupting the offense, with a statistical season that rivals Aaron Donalds 2017 DPOY campaign. Although Watt ultimately did not win the 2019 DPOY award, he was the only player since 1993 to have 10+ sacks, 5 FFs, 3 FRs, and 2 INTs in a single season, and captured his second straight Pro Bowl, 1st team All-Pro honors (edge rusher), and 2nd team All-Pro honors (as a linebacker).
Overall, despite a disappointing season for the Pittsburgh Steelers as a whole, the 2019 season gave us a peek into what this Steelers team can look like in 2020. With a healthy Ben Rothlisberger and Stephan Tuitt, the Pittsburgh Steelers could find themselves back in the playoffs in 2020, and perhaps help Watt claim a much deserved DPOY award to add to the Watt family trophy hall. Watt’s energy and leadership on and off the field will help usher in a new era of Steel Curtain defenses for years to come.
Legacy
Entering his fourth season in the league Watt is looking to live up to his brother J.J.’s (sorry Dereck) status as one of the elite pass rushers in history, and to further solidify himself as one of the Steelers All-Time great defenders. Ever since the James Harrisons 2012 season, the Steelers have been hunting for an elite pass-rushing presence, with likes of Jason Worilds, Jarvis Jones, and Arthur Moats failing to live up to expectations, it seems as though they have found their answer in Watt. Watt has been simply put exceptional in his first three seasons and might just be the best Edge defender in all of football. I fully expect T.J’s name to be in next season DPOY race and for it to be back at the top of this ranking.
The Steelers 2017 draft class might have been too good with the likes of T.J Watt (All-Pro), Juju (Pro Bowl), Cam Sutton (solid player), and James Conner (Pro Bowl) all up for extensions this season, it hard to imagine the Steelers not losing some key pieces this offseason especially with Watt expecting to cash in big time. However, it’s not often that an NFL team lets a young top talent walk, so I fully expect Watt to return on a record-setting contract and to continue to solidify himself as a top NFL defender, and one of the Steelers legends.

Introduction
At this point, anyone who watches football more than a few times a year knows who George Kittle is. The 146th overall pick of the 2017 draft made it known last year that he’s not only the best player in the league at his position- he’s one of the best players in the NFL at any position. He doubled down this season, though missing a few games and playing injured in others might lead someone glancing at his numbers to believe it was a down season. The next paragraph will clear that up, but there’s an ongoing discussion about George Kittle right now that deserves to be brought up, and everyone who’s been refreshing the sub for news these last few months knows that that discussion pertains to his next contract. Kittle likely aims to, and deserves to absolutely shatter the tight end market. $11 million a season is downright disrespectful for a player who does more for the 49ers offense than any non-quarterback does for any offense, and it’ll be interesting to see what the eventual price tag is, especially when you compound his situation with whatever the hell is going to happen with the salary cap because of lost ticket revenue.
2019
George Kittle’s box score statistics don’t properly tell the story of his season (and they likely never will), but there are two numbers that do a pretty good job of putting his year into perspective. Kittle had 3.11 yards per route run. No other player, wide receivers included, broke the 3.0 barrier in 2019, and Julio Jones is the only player in the last decade to top 3.11. The other is the 49ers’ yards per carry in the run game. For the 2 games Kittle missed, the 49ers averaged 2.6 yards per carry on the ground. That number was 4.8 in the 14 he played. Kittle was an elite receiver, producing more per route than anyone else in the NFL, and he was an elite blocker, paving the way for one of the league’s best rushing attacks, which in turn helped set up the 49ers’ dominant play action. Kittle is a key cog in every single dimension of the offense.
For the 2019 season, PFF awarded Kittle with their Dwight Stevenson award, given to the best player in a given season regardless of position.This is typically reserved for JJ Watt or Aaron Donald, and Kittle is actually only the 2nd offensive player to ever win the award after Tom Brady. His 2019 season was also the highest graded tight end season of the PFF era by a full 3 points.
Some of Kittle’s notable blocks of the season include that time he destroyed Clay Matthews, and the the murder of a Falcon in a game where Kittle caught 11 passes and was essentially the team’s entire offense.
The blocking is incredibly necessary and can be really entertaining to watch, but most people want to see crazy catches, and Kittle also delivers there, like when he somehow managed to get his feet down in the end zone against the Rams. Staying in the division, here’s a ridiculous catch and run on an injured ankle against the Cardinals. No discussion of Kittle’s 2019 is complete without the play of the year in the game of the year. Kittle is incredibly dangerous with the ball in his hands, he made that extremely apparent last season when he broke the record for yards after the catch - not for tight ends, for everyone. Sometimes, though, he doesn’t need to dodge defenders or make contested grabs. Occasionally it’s really, really easy.
Bonus highlight: Kittle even finds time to make sure his QB stays safe.
Legacy/Future
There’s not really a ton to say about a third year player’s legacy. He’s been a top 10 player for two consecutive seasons and figures to continue doing that for years to come. Some 49ers fans might be (justifiably) terrified that the team will treat his contract negotiation like he’s just another tight end and not an elite offensive weapon, and the team does not have the luxury to trade Kittle like they did with Buckner, we don’t have a bunch of elite skill position offensive players sitting around to help offset a loss like that that would probably take the 49ers out of contention. Kittle’s contract situation, like any top 10 player, is a major storyline to watch for the next few months.

Intro: Patrick Lavon Mahomes II, quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, third season of his career but just his second starting. Already an NFL MVP, record holder, and savior of a franchise. Soon to be awarded the richest contract in NFL history and it may still be an understatement to what Mahomes has already done for this team. Despite all that 2019 didn't come without trouble. At one moment it seemed like his season could be lost for the year, and perhaps the trajectory of his whole career could change. But this is Mahomes we're talking about. He wouldn't go down without a fight, and so this is the story of Patrick Mahomes in 2019.
Coming off an MVP campaign that saw Patrick Mahomes and crew fall tragically short of a Super Bowl appearance expectations were expectantly high. With the vulnerable Bob Sutton and his defence cast out of Kansas City, fans let their expectations fly as many had held back before the previous season. Talk of a potential 19-0 campaign was brought up by a number of fans, and how could you blame them? The Magic Man Mahomes had come in and brought the team to new heights not seen since long before many had even been born. 5,097 passing yards and 50 touchdowns were new season records for the Kansas City Chiefs, and would have been for a number of teams in the league. How would he follow it up? Chiefs Kingdom was dying to know.
2019 Season: It was a season that began much like it had the previous, 1,195 passing yards and 10 touchdowns, it was hard not to believe Mahomes may be on the path to reach even new heights not seen in the entire league over. Already on the path to another 5,000+ yard and 50+ TD season, we'd already seen him do it once; could he do it again? Winning convincingly against Jacksonville, Oakland, and Baltimore, could those 19-0 dreams be coming true? He had suffered an ankle injury in the first week and otherwise appeared fine, but was he?
Over the next three weeks the Chiefs scraped by the Detriot Lions and suffered bad losses against the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Texans. Mahomes, ended his Chiefs record streak of throwing at least 2+ touchdown passes against the Lions, just one game short of tying the NFL record held by Peyton Manning. He also suffered another ankle injury against the Colts as backup left tackle Cameron Erving accidentally stepped on it getting pushed back. After that second ankle injury it was clear Mahomes looked off, his rating and completion percentages were down as his bad throw percentage went up. But that was the least of his problems.
During week 7 on a QB sneak in the endzone Mahomes went down and had trouble getting back up. Replay showed his knee getting bent weirdly and everyone feared for the worst. A knee dislocation and any ligament damage could sideline him for the year. We'd later find out that it was a kneecap dislocation and that he season may not be over, but he'd still likely be out for some time. But again this is Mahomes, and he only missed the next two matchups.
In his first game back Mahomes came out firing, 50 attempts were the most he'd throw for all season and one was a thing of beauty. Although the Chiefs lost the game Mahomes showed he was back and ready to continue the fight through the season. The Chiefs would not lose again for the rest of the year and through to the Super Bowl following that game. As Mahomes healed from his injuries he returned back to his former dominant self, finishing the last 4 games of the season as the 2nd highest graded QB. Despite his missed time and being hampered by injuries, Mahomes managed to finish the season with 4,031 yards, 26 touchdowns, and just 5 interceptions. A season that would be pretty good for an average QB.
Legacy: What can you say about a QB who in two seasons won league MVP and Super Bowl MVP that hasn't already been said? With just those two season as a full time starter Mahomes has already cemented himself in NFL history, and is on a path like few have ever seen before. Despite being injury hampered through much of the 2019 season Mahomes again to be one of the best QBs in the league. Proving that even an 80% Mahomes is still better than a number of other QB's at 100%. What's crazy too is that Mahomes admitted he didn't fully understand how to read defenses until halfway through 2019.
"I didn't understand how to read defenses until, like, halfway through last year," he said. "I understood coverages, but being able to pick up little tendencies defenses do, stuff that Brady and them have done — I was just playing."
With another offseason to study and learn how far can Mahomes go? Has he already reached his peak? After his 2018 season Mahomes started to get a lot of comparisons to Dan Marino, who similarly threw for over 5,000 yards in his second season; but Marino never won a Super Bowl. Mahomes is in new territory of career trajectory. He's in control of his own legacy, and that legacy in the mind of Mahomes and Chiefs Kingdom is GOAT or bust.

Introduction
I must confess, father, for I have sinned. I did not always believe in Christ. That all changed in 2012 when the Seahawks drafted Future’s eskimo brother and Future Jr.’s daddy, Russell “Jesus Christ himself in a 5’11 snack of a fuckin body” Wilson. Since he’s been in the league, all Russell Wilson has done is win. He holds the record for most wins by a quarterback in their first 7 seasons (75), has a career passer rating above 100, and like a hundred 4th quarter stats and records because Pete Carroll has a fetish for sending people into cardiac arrest. He’s also the first quarterback in NFL History with a winning record in each of his first eight seasons and PFF says he leads the NFL in big time throws since 2018, which is a big deal since we all know the PFF big time throws stat is THE way to measure a quarterback. Very cool Russell!
The 2019 Season
Russell “clearly the hotter part of his relationship” Wilson was pretty damn good in 2019. NBC Sports kindly put together this handy list of the milestones and records Russ accomplished this past season. Spoiler alert, there’s a lot. The season began with more of what we’re used to from #3; putting Seattle entirely on his back. From handling the Steelers with a 300 yard/3 TD game in week 2 to throwing four touchdowns (including this absolute dime with a great catch from Lockett) en route to taking down the Rams, Russ was largely tasked with overcoming slow starts throughout the season with the teams stout commitment to the run game. Still, though, Russell Wilson delivered time and time again. Even in the loss to the Saints in week 3 where the deficit was simply too large to overcome, Russ “the Trouserhammer” Wilson threw for over 400 yards and scored 4 total touchdowns in the only game of the season where he threw 50 passes.
The second loss of the season came at the hands of the Llama himself, a game in which the Trouserhammer threw his first interception of the season… in week 7. This midseason stretch saw a 5 game winning streak with wins against 3 playoff-bound teams in the Eagles, the Vikings, and the 49ers. Oh, and not to mention his 378/5 TD performance against Captain LASIK and the Buccaneers. The Seahawks would go 1-3 on the final four games of the season, but that didn’t stop the ol’ Trouserhammer from putting up a season stat line of 4,110 yards and 31 touchdowns to only 5 interceptions with a 66.1 completion percentage. He also added another 342 yards and 3 touchdowns on the ground.
In the 2019 season, we saw a lot more of that beautiful touch Russ makes to put the ball right in his receivers hands. We saw a lot of the magic he is capable of. This season also saw Russell deal with yet another poor year of offensive line play. Here’s the Trouserhammer managing to throw a dime on a trick play with turnstile Joey Hunt at center. The defense lost legend Earl Thomas. Doug Baldwin retired. And Russell “OG Mula Savage 420” Wilson went out and played the best football of his career. A major development in 2019 was the drafting and progress of rookie wide receiver DK Metcalf. Russell established a pretty immediate rapport with DK en route to a 900 yard 7 touchdown rookie season (and a 160 yard 1 touchdown performance in his first career playoff game). Wilson and Metcalf have been training throughout the offseason, and if DK continues to grow and thrive, we could see some EVEN BETTER football from the Trouserhammer. Not to mention he's an absolute smokeshow
Legacy
All Russell Wilson does is win, baby. He drags the Seahawks kicking and screaming to fourth quarter comebacks if that’s what it takes. After earning a Super Bowl ring in his second year in the league, Russell Wilson has genuinely grown and matured into a true, distinguished pocket quarterback with an impeccable escapability trait and knack to make magic happen. He has established himself as a true top 3 quarterback in the NFL and at 31 has plenty of time to dominate and earn some more rings. Who knows? He may even be able to nab a MVP vote someday on his journey to the Hall.
Despite Pete Carroll’s belief in establishing a healthy run game, it would be a welcome change to see Seattle become if even just slightly more pass-happy, allowing the game to be in Russell’s hands throughout rather than forcing him to play hero in the second half. He has proven himself as an elite NFL quarterback and continuously put the city of Seattle on his big, manly, beautiful shoulders. Russell Wilson is my lord and savior. Russell Wilson is who I see when I close my eyes in bed late at night. Russell Wilson is the man I call daddy. And most importantly, Russell Wilson is one of the best players in the NFL.

Jason Kelce, the best center in the NFL don't @ me, comes in at number 50 on this year's list. In 2019, Kelce earned his 3rd straight 1st Team All Pro nod and, while his 2019 wasn't as dominant as his obscenely good 2018 campaign, he remains the best run-blocking center in the game today. In my (albeit amateur) film watching experience, offensive linemen are typically proficient in either pass protection or run blocking and it is fairly rare to find a blocker who can do both effectively. Kelce is one of those players who is a net positive in every element of the game and it has been a real treat to watch him rise through the ranks and cement his spot as a potential future HOFer. He's a great pass protector, an even better run blocker, and an all-around lovable guy who I can't wait to watch next season.
I'll start by showing off his pass-blocking highlights. I think that there are two important things to highlight in this portion of his game. First are the reps he puts in during standard 1, 3, and 5 step dropbacks and play-action. What Kelce lacks in size (he's only 6'3" 280lbs!) he more than compensates with elite technique, intelligence, and leverage. Here Kelce is blocking Redskins DT Tim Settle who is 6'3" and 30 lbs heavier. You can see he initially loses, giving up some space and being "put on skates" for lack of a better phrase. Instead of losing the rep as a whole, Kelce resets his body, squares his feet, and drops his anchor to put a much larger man on the ground and turn an initial loss into a big win. Kelce is not one to be fooled by fancy hands as seen here in a rep vs Green Bay's Kenny Clark. Many a center has been roasted by Clark's surprising speed and agility as a nose tackle, but Kelce recognizes the swim is coming, keeps his body in a good position, and the best NT in the game loses. Kelce kept Clark in check for the entirety of last season's game vs GB and it was one of the most impressive things I've seen out of him. If you want to see what Kelce can do, I highly recommend re-watching this entire game. It's a fun matchup between two of the best at their positions. Where Kelce is a true difference-maker in the passing game is his ability to get downfield on screens. Here he is climbing to the 2nd/3rd level vs the Patriots and making Jonathon Jones have a bad time. The Eagles are ridiculously fortunate to have a center with that level of mobility. Here is another similar rep vs GB where Kelce climbs to the 3rd level before you can even blink. He is what anchors the Eagles OL and it's very easy to see why.
Now we turn to his ability in the run game. Remember what I showed you of his work in the screen game? Well those pulling skills are what make him a truly elite run blocker. We'll start with this play where his speed when pulling is on full display. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly he gets outside and engages with ferocity and power likely to knock most every LB in the game on their ass. He is always in the right spot and his ability to read who will plug which hole goes to show how smart he is. Here's another one from the same game where he might not go far but he pulls, gets to the second level, and seals off the backer almost instantaneously, opening up a really nice hole that anyone reading this could run through. Here's yet another beautiful seal by Kelce that makes you hope that he got a really nice Christmas present from Miles Sanders. I think the biggest takeaways here are his understanding of leverage and the speed with which he gets into position to open up some really huge gaps. In addition to pulling + sealing on the second level, he is great when it comes to combo blocks with the OGs. The Eagles have some really great OL talent, but what makes them one of the best units every year is how well they work together. Synergy is everything to an offensive line and Kelce works masterfully alongside Brandon Brooks and Isaac Seumalo. My final gif is this play vs the Giants where Brooks contacts the DT and then climbs and engages in the second level to open up yet another ridiculous hole for Miles Sanders.
Jason Kelce is an absolute mauler with ridiculous mobility to boot. He's a fan favorite for his demeanor both on and off the field and it gives me great pleasure to see him in the top half of this year's NFL Top 100.

There aren't many nose tackles in the NFL that can get me as fired up as Kenny Clark. I think Ngata was up there. Maybe Kyle Williams pre-2010 (before Dareus). Other than that, though, it's hard to find a nose guard who plays like Kenny does. To those who are completely unaware as to the general job of most nose tackles in football, they are mostly told to simply clog up the middle as much as possible. I say most here because it's no secret how much that job can change when you have talented guys like Kenny Clark. Regardless, the point here is that every nose tackle in NFL history can still be considered a quality asset in most schemes regardless of sack totals so long as they fulfill the duty of clogging up the middle.
That, however, is not how Kenny plays.
Kenny Clark is a playmaker, plain and simple. No one at nose tackle in today's NFL makes the plays he can. If Kenny Clark is not doubled, Kenny Clark will sack you. Or he will clobber your running back behind the LOS. And sometimes, even when he is doubled, he will make you wonder if it's necessary to triple him. And, the most important thing to remember about Kenny Clark is that the play is never over until the whistle blows. You might be able to put a move on him once, but Kenny Clark has a very particular set of skills. Skills he has acquired over a short, prolific career. Skills that make him a nightmare for quarterbacks. So if you try to run, he will look for you, he will find you, and he will sack you. And then he will dance on your grave.
Kenny Clark had 6 sacks this season. Having gone through a few edge rushers and even some DTs so far in this list, you might think "well that's really not all that much". Not only is that line of thinking ludicrous considering the fact that he is a pure nose tackle, but I will give you this to think about. Zadarius Smith was a rotational player in Baltimore. Preston Smith was a solid role player in Washington coming off a season with only 4 sacks. However, both Z and Preston joined the Packers this season, and subsequently exploded in production for over 25 total sacks. Not only did they show an insane amount of skill, but that skill and talent was able to shine through because Kenny's massive body in the center of the formation forced offensive lines to place two players on him at all times. I've already shown what happens when you don't double him, but let's look at a few more in case you missed it.
I ranked Kenny Clark 18th after considerable discussion and debate among myself and some other rankers. I wanted him higher. To me, you don't ever see a jump in production among an entire defense without a piece like Kenny giving the Smiths good matchups. He forced teams to put them on islands, and it bit them in the ass.

Did you know in 2019, Mike Evans joined Randy Moss as the 2nd wide receiver to start their career with 6 consecutive 1,000 yard seasons? Somehow out of the absolutely stacked wide receiver class of 2014, Evans has stood out as arguably the best of them in skill consistency. He’s cemented himself as the number 1 on the team. Or has he.
This year, Evans found himself splitting targets with breakout star Chris Godwin. While Godwin did end up with more yardage than Evans, they actually matched target counts on the season (114). Evans ended 2019 with 1157 yards and 8 touchdowns on 67 receptions. Not an amazing catch percentage, but let’s remember who was throwing to him. Those stats are also from just 13 games (one of which he goose egged). Had Evans been able to finish the season, he was on track for 1424 yards and 10 TDs. He deserved to be dinged on not finishing the season, so he deserves this placement in the list.
However, he still proved this year that he’s a top 5 WR in the league. Evans was able to take over games, play as not just an X receiver but also out of the slot the same percentage as Michael Thomas, and routinely make acrobatic catches even as a big man. He turned into something of a safety blanket for Winston, getting his biggest yardage and target counts in games where the Bucs were losing. Arians offense has clearly been beneficial, and the emergence of Godwin should help keep some pressure off Evans going forward.

Nick Bosa doesn’t really need an introduction at this point, but if he did, George Kittle would do the honors. One of the easiest draft selections in recent memory paid dividends immediately, finishing his rookie campaign with 80 pressures (shattering the previous rookie record of 66) and a stretch so dominant that the discussion briefly moved beyond the defensive rookie of the year award and into the defensive player of the year discussion. The 49ers had been desperate for any semblance of an NFL caliber edge rusher for years, and Bosa (along with Dee Ford and the emergence of Arik Armstead) suddenly have the team among the league’s best at the position, a significant factor in the team's turnaround from top 2 in the draft, where Bosa was selected, to the Super Bowl. Led by the defensive line, San Francisco's defense ranked 3rd in the NFL in sack% and allowed only 5.9 yards per pass attempt and 169 passing yards per game, both good for 1st in the league.
Nick Bosa, like his brother, is already one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, but calling him only a pass rusher is a disservice to his run defense. He joined Khalil Mack, Von Miller and his brother as the only players in the PFF era to finish their rookie campaign with a >75 pass rushing and run defense grade. His 80 pressures (10 sacks, 18 QB hits and 52 hurries, PFF's numbers, different sites have different definitions of "pressure") were 6th in the NFL, and every player ahead of him played at least 100 more snaps than he did.
Bosa’s highlight reel this season includes his first interception, his relocation of Andrew Whitworth, the slip ‘n slide, and the entire Browns game, but most memorably the flag plant.
If the postseason was included he'd be even higher on this list, but I'm sure he has no problem waiting until next year to break into the top 20 (or 10) on a list that he probably doesn't know exists. The 47 spot as a rookie is impressive, and further reinforces the hype that both Bosa brothers have managed to live up to, but it's only the beginning.

Darius Leonard has come a long way since being proclaimed one of the worst picks of the draft by Bleacher Report. While his 2019 campaign was impeded by a nasty concussion that had him sidelined for three games, he was still by far the best defensive player the Colts deployed last season. He finished second in combined tackles (121) and sacks (5) while finishing first in interceptions (5) for the Colts. Throughout this season, Darius showed off his strengths, putting on a tackling clinic in many of his games and showing off his high IQ play. This interception against Jameis Winston stands out to me as his best play, selling the pass rush before dropping back into coverage and snatching the ball out of the air. This is the kind of play that turned Darius into an overnight sensation in Indianapolis and why many Colts fans believe he will be our Ray Lewis. But back to this season, as reward for his outstanding play he received his first pro bowl nomination and his second all pro selection, leading to Darius further solidifying himself as one of the best young players in the league. The future is bright for Darius Leonard as he continues to build upon an excellent first two seasons.

The Chargers defense has gained a lot of attention from fans and pundits alike for the wealth of talent that it possesses. The defensive backfield has a mix of veteran star power (Hayward, Harris) and talented youth (James), and the linebackers have athletic ability that recent first rounder Kenneth Murray should add to in spades. However, the real eye-catcher of the Chargers defense puts his hands in the dirt before the snap and uses them as well as any edge rusher after the snap. After four seasons of giving offensive linemen and coordinators fits, it’s been made abundantly clear that the present and future of the Chargers defense runs through Joey Bosa.
Bosa missed nine games in 2018 due to a foot injury but returned to make a meaningful contribution at the end of the season. Bosa continued where he left off in 2019, playing all 16 games. Bosa had 18 TFL and 31 QB hits last season, both single season highs for him, and registered 11.5 sacks. He became the 10th player since the sack became an official stat (1982) to rack up 40 sacks in his first 50 games. Bosa was named 1st Team All-Pro by Sporting News and 2nd Team All-Pro by PFF. Rattling off these numbers and accolades is well and good of course, but it might feel kind of stale to some. The thing is, when you watch him play…you almost expect him to wreak havoc. He’ll use his hands to break away from O-linemen, he makes the second effort to get to the QB, he makes plays in the run game, he’s the total package. And we expect him to make his presence felt. We expect all of this out of a player who only turns 25 in a few weeks. That’s honestly incredible.
Prior to the 2019 season, Bosa changed his jersey number from 99 to 97, his collegiate and family number (father John and brother Nick have worn 97 at Ohio State and the NFL). The coming offseason will see more changes for Joey, as his rookie contract expires. The Chargers brass won’t play hardball like 2016. They can’t afford to. For the Chargers to succeed beyond 2020, keeping Joey Bosa in the powder blue and gold is vital, and if it means a yearly average that’s as big as his entire rookie contract, then that’s what it takes. Joey Bosa is already a star who hasn’t reached his final form yet, don’t be surprised when his next deal sets the market for edge rushers.

#44 - Deshaun Watson - Quarterback - Houston Texans

Coming in hot at number 44 is number 4, Deshaun Watson, and I think J.J. Watt basically summed up what Watson does with brevity when he said "hey go win us a football game". Watson has done just that over his career with a staggering 24-13 record (10-5 last year), but I (nor you) should believe that QB wins are really a stat worth much. I'm not going to go too heavy into statistics with this write-up, but rather show you how Deshaun runs an offense, his mobility, ability to stay cool under pressure, and (despite only throwing it 49 mph) the deep ball.
This year the Texans seemed to incorporate more RPOs into their offense, which is pretty normal for the NFL right now. According to pro-football-reference Deshaun passed the ball on 65 of these plays and averaged about 8 yards per attempt. The main RPO that they ran that I will focus on will be an outside zone look for the run and a flat from the backfield for the pass. Here is my first example of the play, which you might recognize. The first read is EDGE defender to see if he contains or flattens. He flattens, so Watson keeps. His second read is the TE to dump to if a CB or S crashes down towards him. This play it would be better for the TE to lead block instead and it leads to a fantastic athletic TD from Watson where he leaps about 4 yards into the end zone. They run a very similar RPO against New Englad here with the minor wrinkle of an extra TE in the backfield who will run a wheel route that turns into a lead block. Also it appears to be an inside zone run read. Jamie Collins flattens just a little allowing Watson to keep, then Donta Hightower rushes towards Watson instead of sprinting to beat the TE or starting pursuit against him, so it's an easy toss and TD. They run this play three separate times in one game against Jacksonville. Finally I wanted to show a cool version of this play where they used Hopkins against Tennessee.
The best part of Watson's game is his mobility inside the pocket. He can run after escaping a sack or he could pass. This ability to create out of structure is huge in the NFL, because it's something a defense can't truly prepare to face. A spy could be kept sure, but a lot of the time a spy can be outrun by a mobile QB. A spy also takes away a defender who could be used to face against the pass. Sometimes the movements are more obvious and sometimes it is more subtle. If Watson doesn't pull houdini shit leaving the defenders wondering where he went (like I was when my dad left to go get a pack of smokes) he doesn't get the extra time and respect from a defense that can be critical.
Watson can hit the corner with accuracy on a hilarious 1st and 34. Here he hits Fuller in stride who drops it, but just forget what happened (like when you called your teacher mommy) and try it again. Stills is able to hold on and get Watson is rightful TD. Look a Perfect deep ball to Hopkins now a shot to Stills. One of his favorite plays is a deep crosser with a b-line towards the far pylon on the other side. Hopkins can run the b-line or you can get Fuller running that route or you can even get Stills running that route. What's underrated here is Watson's chemistry and knowledge of his WRs to hit 3 different speed WRs in perfect stride. Also his ability to look that safety towards the crosser is just chefs kiss
Watson can both stay cool under actual physical pressure (hey that play looks familiar) under mental pressure (late game heroics), and a most arousing sexy combination of both. I need a new pair of pants after that last one whew. hE wIlL tAkE a KnEe HeRe that announcer doesn't know Deshaun. 11 seconds is 10 too many for him. Another beautiful combination of Watson's skill where he uses mobility, cool under pressure, and accuracy to beat Oakland with one eye which really just sums up everything he does well in a single play.

#43 - Chris Jones - Interior Defensive Line - Kansas City Chiefs

When people talk about the best defensive tackles in the league, the conversation starts with Aaron Donald at the top. But there's a lot of debate when it comes down to who the #2 is. One contenders for that spot is the Kansas City Chiefs "Sack Nation" King Chris Jones. One of the best and most consistent pass rushers in the NFL, and a not too shabby run defender despite what some like to say.
In 2019 Jones missed a few games due to a groin injury but still put in one if his best seasons of his career yet. He finished 5th in total pressures despite having less pass rushing snaps than anyone else in the top 14 spots. He T-4th in sacks with 9, T-3rd in hits with 14, and finished 12th in hurries. Jones was instrumental in helping turn the Chiefs defense around in the 2nd half of the season with 6 of his 9 sacks coming in the final 7 weeks. But it wasn't just his pass rushing that impressed, in his last 5 games he was 10th in the league in run defense grade.
What makes Jones so special is his explosive power, quick hands, and smooth hip movement that allows him to blow pass linemen and disengage. He finished 3rd (19%) in the NFL in pass rush win rate which is percentage of blocks beaten in less than 2.5 seconds. He's a constant threat to break into the backfield and blow up plays both in the pass and the run game. Shutting down plays before they can even get started.
Looking ahead Jones' contract with the Chiefs has officially expired and is currently being retained by a franchise tag. Jones has yet to sign his tag and has just under a month left to sign a long term deal for this year. So far the Chiefs and Jones have both expressed a lot of interest in staying together, but a lot is still in the air. But what's not in the air is that Jones is one of the best defensive players in the league, and a force to be reckoned with no matter who he's facing.

Though the Legion of Boom is no more, the centerpiece of the Seahawks defense remains the 5x first team All-Pro and likely future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner. Watching a player with his level of skill, intelligence, and physicality is truly a treat. He makes the open field tackles that you so often see even the best players miss. This comes from his perfection of the art of linebacking, from how he tracks down the ballcarrier with his eyes, takes the best angle, gets around and off blockers, and pursues them so that there is no escape. Linebacker isn’t always the flashiest position, but he sticks out by doing everything an MLB needs to do to perfection. There are no weak spots to his game, he excels at defending against the run and pass, tackling, and even blitzing in the rare occasions that he is asked to. It is no surprise that he has almost 100 more combined tackles than anyone else in the league over the past 5 seasons, or that he has never had fewer than 100 tackles in a single season. No matter what, he always seems to be in the right place at the right time. There are too many examples of this for me to go into all of them, so I’ll just leave this here for you to see for yourself.

#41 - Harrison Smith - Safety - Minnesota Vikings

Grading NFL safeties is hard. Often times their impact isn’t directly felt and doesn’t show up on a stat sheet. On top of that conundrum, there a more than a few ways to use a Safety. I think PFF describes the problem best, and tells you why Harrison Smith earned his spot in the rankings. “At safety, the debate is between which system is better overall — a single-high one that plays primarily Cover 1 or Cover 3, or a split-safety system that employs variations of Cover 2, 4 and 6. Ultimately, I think you have more flexibility if you use the latter as your primary structure, which has knock-on effects on the types of safety you need. Instead of searching for a true rangy single-high free safety, and an enforcing box safety, you need a hybrid of both. In fact, you need two of them. The best prototype of that mix of skills has been Minnesota’s Harrison Smith for a number of years.” Smith plays bigger than he looks and can bring the boom. He plays smart football and rarely has a mental lapse His burst and quickness helps him get after the QB when he blitzes. And he has great ball skills. All this translates into a very well balanced player who can do it all, earning PFF’s 3rd highest safety grade last year. Here are some of the stats PFF attributed to Harris to help understand why they are so high on him. He didn’t allow a single pass of more than 24 yards. He allowed 0 TD’s in coverage for the year. And finally QB’s throwing at Harrison Smith recorded a 35.7 QBR, with only Justin Simmons and Earl Thomas at of him at 32 and 31 QBR respectively. The last thing I’ll mention about Harrison Smith is how his versatility allows Mike Zimmer to maintain his top 5-10 secondary (3rd in PFF, 7th in DVOA), despite fielding some of the worst graded Cornerbacks in the league. Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes had a tough year last year to say the least. A big reason why the rest of the defense didn’t crumble was the versatility and prowess of one of the best Safeties in the league, Harrison Smith.
