Eckert’s Examinations: 2023 College IDL Pass Rush Stat Study – Logan Lee

Continuing the series, I wanted to move to the interior defensive line position (IDL), where Pittsburgh selected Logan Lee in the sixth round. Today’s goal is to look at and provide stat context for the position using Sports Info Solutions (SIS).

The data in this study looks at their final college season in 2023 as pass rushers, focusing on the players who heard their names called in the draft, and two players were excluded due to SIS not tracking smaller schools. The goal is to see how Lee stacked up among his peers.

First, let’s look at pass snaps along with their total snaps to get a gauge of the players opportunities, and how often they were able to stay on the field for their squads last season:

The visual points out that Lee was able to stay on the field quite often for Iowa last season, with the second most total (625) and pass snaps (333) of the 23 qualifying draft picks at the position.
