Box score scouting is fun. It’s become even more fun thanks to our friends at Pro Football Focus.
This is not a slight to PFF or the work they do there, but I do want to highlight ways things are missed, even with their in-depth analytics and the way they break things down from a borderline baseball-like statistical perspective.
One issue I have taken in the 2019 NFL Draft season with PFF — even before he was drafted by the Broncos (for all the haters) — is their recent analysis of Noah Fant’s game.
PFF, within the last month, made Fant seem like a drops machine who can’t make plays after the catch and who is a hack in contested catch situations.
