By now, you’ve probably already figured out that new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph was pretty damn good at Oklahoma State when it came to the deep passing phase of his game. Just how good was he, though?
Now that I have finished contextualizing every throw that Rudolph made at Oklahoma State during the 2017 season, I have a nice set of data to work with and especially when it comes to his deep pass attempts. To be clear, I count a deep pass attempt as one that flies in the air 16 or more yards past the original line of scrimmage as this is what constitutes a deep attempt in the NFL.
