The New York Jets and their fans enjoyed a positive preseason opener against the New York Giants. A bevy of players put forth positive individual performances.
Taking a look back at the many promising statistics from the game had me wondering – is there actually a correlation between preseason production and regular-season production?
To answer this question, I looked back to the 2019 preseason (considering there was no preseason in 2020). I took hundreds of qualified players and compared their preseason performance to their regular-season performance.
Offensively, I analyzed 433 players who played at least 50 offensive snaps in the preseason and went on to appear in at least one regular-season game.
