The grades that Pro Football Focus hand out on a regular basis keep gaining more steam. The NFL’s official twitter account now tweets out weekly “highest graded players” tweets and there’s no quicker way to legitimize what they do than have the NFL buy in.
But should they be legitimizing it? The problem is the lack of transparency with PFF’s grades. PFF sends out their weekly grades and their season long grades, but they don’t track their grades week-to-week. In fact, when you are on their website, once the team’s season grades are updated for the week, you can no longer find season grades anywhere for prior portions of the season.
