A 50-game sample size in the NFL indicates where a player’s career stacks up against his peers. To put it in terms of how many seasons that would be, the math adds up to around three years (17 regular season games x 3 = 51 games).
CBS Sports posted a graphic on X (formerly Twitter) comparing Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott to Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes. The numbers show that both signal-callers have had similar success over the last three seasons in the regular season.
