The data you need, faster than you're used to. Coming soon...

Some really interesting names on this list

“You can wreck a rookie QB.” @MikeMayock & Mark Ellenz share some great perspective here about how to get the most out of a young QB⬇️

Every rookie QB drafted this spring....They're all in camp this week. Here's what SumerSports NFL analysts say separates the ones who make it from the ones who flame out. Hint: it's not arm talent. #TrainingCamp #NFLDraft #TheEvaluation #SumerSports #Quarterbacks

LOVE seeing @SumerSports data used in such a smart way. (Also can't wait for the rest of you to get your hands on it in a few weeks 🚀)

Link to read: open.substack.com/pub/samhoppen/… Thanks to my friends at @SumerSports for the data that allowed me to do this research!

TE YPRR leaders by alignment (2025 season)

TB run defense ranks since Vea entered the league in 2018 EPA/play allowed: 2nd Success rate allowed: 2nd Vea also ranks 2nd in QB pressures from a NT alignment over that stretch (behind only Dexter Lawrence). A true run-defense anchor who can affect the QB as a pass rusher.

Taking a look at which wide receivers have had the most diversity in their route deployment and pre-snap alignment over the past two seasons: Data via @SumerSports

Rushing success rate leaders by gap during 2025 season (min. 30 carries)

Do not let George Pickens run slant routes. Sheesh.

The Unique Front Six Personnel Groups in Nickel Family Defense 2025 Full Season 4-2 personnel with four roster position DL/Edge players is the standard, but some teams are implementing 5-1 and 3-3 groups as well. Note: This is not how players aligned on each play, but their true roster positions. Many 4-2 teams use an off-ball LB to create a 5-1 front structure. Brian Flores and the Vikings used 5-1 Nickel Family groups on more than 300 snaps in 2024 but moved away from that approach this past season. Data via @SumerSports

I wonder sometimes why tackles avoided (tackles avoided per touch) is not a more relied upon metric for evaluating RBs vs EPA. Lots of non-RB factors figure into EPA. This @SumerSports data basically reads best RBs in the NFL from right-to-left, more than top-to-bottom.

@Calhoun2rob Weeks 1-8: 46.5% MOF throw rate (12th) 0.56 EPA/play on those passes (1st) Biggest drop in efficiency among qualifying QBs from Weeks 1-8 to rest of season.

@SumerSports curious where love is if you cut it to before kraft got hurt

QB middle-of-field throw rate and EPA/dropback on those passes during 2025 regular season

@FantasyKash Here's the 10+ air yard version

@SumerSports Do you have this for mof throws beyond 10 air yards? More telling imo than quick slants and hitches over middle

Rushing scheme diversity doesn't always lead to rushing success, but the Cowboys did a really good job last year of mixing up the concepts they used while having a very solid running game:

Biggest positive difference in EPA/dropback throwing to MOF vs. outside the numbers: 1. Stroud 2. Shough 3. Rodgers 4. Penix 5. Allen Biggest negative difference: 1. Purdy 2. Darnold 3. Brissett 4. Daniel Jones 5. Cousins
