2018 Slot vs. Wide: Defense

by Bryan Knowles

Over the past two weeks, we've looked at the league's slot-wide splits for wide receivers, quarterbacks, and running backs and tight ends, all in an effort to showcase just a small fraction of the data available in Football Outsiders Almanac 2019.

Today, we finish up by flipping to the defensive side of the ball, with the help of the data that comes from the charting done by our friends at Sports Info Solutions. As a reminder, each player's position is based on where they were they lined up on the field, rather than relative to other wideouts.
