Eckert: OL Stat Study 1.0 Using PFF Run/Pass Blocking Metrics – 2020

Today I am starting my “Offensive Line Study Series”, similar to my other offensive position studies. I wanted to dive deeper into some questions I usually don’t have time for. One of these questions revolved around offensive lineman with the most snaps, and how they graded with these datapoints from Pro Football Focus (PFF):

  • PFF Run Block Grade (RBLK) = PFF Grade for Run Blocking
  • PFF Pass Block Grade (PBLK) = PFF Grade for Pass Blocking
  • PFF Offensive Snaps = Offensive Snaps

One important thing before the graph, the players in this study are the leaders in PFF Offensive Snaps.
