With the NFL’s primary player acquisition phase of the offseason in the past, data analyst Tom Bliss has broken down each NFL team’s roster in an intriguing way. Bliss looked at each team’s total number of snaps in 2021 — combining offense, defense, and special teams — and broke down each roster based on where each player started his career, either as a draft pick or for his first undrafted free agent contract.
Bliss then presented each franchises’ top five teams in terms of the contribution to the total snaps from those teams’ draftees or signees. It’s an interesting exercise, particularly when spotting some trends around the league.
