The Pittsburgh Steelers had a busy free agency, including the signing of inside linebacker Myles Jack, and today I wanted to provide some data context to what he provided last season in coverage along with Pittsburgh’s linebackers as well. Let’s get right to it, starting with 2021 coverage snaps and targets to get a gauge of the quantity of plays comparatively.
Comparing Jack’s 2021 opportunities in Jacksonville to the NFL and Steelers, we can see he was utilized at an above the mean rate of the 58 players on the graph and targeted more than the 2021 Steelers.
