2018 Free Agency

2018 NFL FREE AGENCY GUIDE
©2018 ProFootballFocus.com. All rights reserved. 1

WELCOME TO PFF’S FIRST ANNUAL FREE AGENCY GUIDE!
The PFF Free Agency Guide is your inside source to scout both short and long-
term solutions for your favorite team’s current roster. We have assembled a
collection of PFF grades, charts and analysis for the NFL’s unrestricted and
restricted free agents in 2018.
PFF covers every player on every play of every game to give you the most
comprehensive analysis of player performance. Because of this, we can provide
our EDGE and ELITE members with free agent information you can’t get anywhere
else. We’d like to say a special thanks to the loyal PFF following for making our job
-- analyzing and discussing football -- that much more worthwhile.
About our salary projections:
The salary numbers in the guide are projections of average guaranteed salary per
year rather than total amount or total amount per year. Most fans understand
that NFL salaries are often structured to have a high total amount, but some of the
salary is never likely to be given to the player. The player’s position is taken into
account because some positions are played more than others. This is not to project
how much we think a player will get paid but how much he should get paid.
About best team fit projections:
Each unrestricted free agent has been given an ideal team to land with in free
agency. This does not necessarily mean that each of those teams should be
pursuing every one of those free agents, but rather that each of those players
matches what those teams do from a schematic or stylistic point of view. Salary
cap space and roster construction has also been factored in when looking at those
ideal team fits, and they reflect the most sensible landing spot for each player
in isolation, not as a complete team shopping list for the free agency period as a
whole.
Restricted free agents did not receive an ideal team fit because they are so much
less likely to move anywhere in the free agent period.
Beyond all the stats and projections presented in this guide, there is the ever-
changing world of roster needs, team visits, and signings. For continuous

QUARTERBACK OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
We may be headed for the most exciting offseason of quarterback turnover in recent memory. Between a
few big names leaking into free agency, to other starters being pushed out, to a large number of potential
first-round picks, it’s possible the NFL has a completely different look at the quarterback position next
season.
As for the free agent class, New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees would be the biggest name to hit free agen-
cy since…Drew Brees, but that seems unlikely at this point. Redskins QB Kirk Cousins will continue his
saga and get plenty of attention if he does not return to Washington. The Vikings have a trio of free agents,
all of whom have had relative success over the last three seasons. They have decisions to make before
teams swoop in for the services of either Case Keenum, Sam Bradford, or Teddy Bridgewater. Of course,
49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo technically hits free agency, but it’d be hard to imagine that comes to pass as
the 49ers will do everything they can to lock him up after his outstanding six-game stretch to finish the
season. Bengals QB A.J. McCarron has plenty of trade rumors attached to his and we’ll see what his true
value is on the open market.
Beyond that, decisions have to be made around the league with regard to the likes of Alex Smith, Eli Man-
ning, Blake Bortles, Tyrod Taylor and much more. Hop on the carousel before it starts, as we break down
the free agent quarterbacks for 2018.
SIGNATURE STATS:
Adjusted Completion Percentage
Taking the commonly-used completion percentage a step or two further, we’ve accounted for a set
of factors that help better define a quarterback’s performance on passes that were actually aimed at
(and delivered to) a targeted receiver. We add back in dropped passes to give the quarterback credit
for getting the ball to its destination and take away ‘attempts’ that were actually throwaways, spikes,
or balls that were batted at the line and those that fluttered from his hand when hit as he threw. The
result? Top completion percentages typically approach or climb slightly past 70%, while adjusted
completion percentage leaders will be looking at numbers closer to 80%.
Passing Under Pressure

A telling set of stats when considering a quarterback’s composure, we’ve assembled tables of data to
show how often they find themselves under duress and how they operate in those situations. Who
throws it away and who takes the sack? Whose pressured passes have been intercepted most frequently
and whose have usually found an open receiver? Every pressured dropback is counted here.
Deep Passing
Using our target location data, we’ve selected passing attempts that traveled 20 yards or more in the air.
From that sample we offer a look at typical passing numbers as well as attempt percentage (number of
deep passes relative to all attempts) and show the quarterback’s accuracy Percentage on such throws.
Whether you are looking to see who is going deep most often or who has been most successful at it,
we’ve got the numbers here.

2015 1106 627 428 68.3% 4870 7.8 32 11
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Quarterbacks of Brees’ caliber rarely hit the open market and the future Hall of Famer may be reaching the back-nine of
his career, but he’s showing little sign of slowing up. Brees has ranked among the top-10 quarterbacks in each year of PFF
grading dating back to 2006, and while the 2017 Saints took a more conservative approach with the passing game, Brees
still showed that he’s capable of carrying the offense when called upon.
AT A GLANCE:
• Led the NFL with an adjusted completion percentage of 80.7 last season.
• 2016 and 2017 have been two lowest grades of PFF era, but still ranked seventh among quarterbacks in 2016 (86.6)
and fourth in 2017 (87.8).
• Posted his lowest turnover-worthy throw percentage since 2011.
• Ranked third in the league with an adjusted completion percentage of 52.5 percent on deep (20-plus yard) passes.

2015 1006 483 311 64.4% 3659 7.6 21 11
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Coming out of retirement, Cutler became an unexpected starter for the Miami Dolphins after Ryan Tannehill was lost for
the season. His career was filled with talk about his “potential,” but instead it was defined by mid-level quarterback play
with more years toward the bottom of the league than years near the top. After a subpar 2017, Cutler may lean toward
retirement once again unless another injury situation calls him back.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked 34th among quarterbacks with a 62.5 overall grade.
• Has had three seasons with an overall PFF grade better than 80.0 (2008, 2013, 2015).
• In 2017, big-time throw percentage of 1.57 percent was lowest of his career and ranked last among qualifying
quarterbacks.
• Ranked 31st in avoiding turnover-worthy plays at 4.2 percent, right in line with his career trends.

2015 306 125 76 60.8% 828 6.6 4 1
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
It was a breakout performance for Keenum in 2017, as he posted an 85.4 grade after never grading better than 74.5 during
his career. He made good decisions, handled pressure well and did a fine job of working with one of the league’s best re-
ceiving duos in Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. There may be reservations on the open market that Keenum can duplicate
his success in another environment, but with so many quarterback-needy teams, there will also be a few who by into his
turnaround.
AT A GLANCE:
• Was fantastic under pressure last season, ranking second in the league with only 10.7 percent of his pressured snaps
turning into sacks.
• Faced the seventh-highest rate of pressure among quarterbacks last season (39.3 percent).
• Had the fourth-lowest percentage of turnover-worthy plays in the league in 2017.
• Ranked fourth in the league with an adjusted completion percentage of 76.5.
• Prior to 2017, Keenum’s career high for attempts was 322 in 2016.

2015 13 4 1 25.0% 6 1.5 0 0
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
The 49ers traded a second-round pick for Garoppolo, and assuming they lock him up long term, early returns are encour-
aging. Garoppolo was outstanding in his six games with the 49ers, ranking fourth among quarterbacks with an 85.2 grade
during that time. He took to head coach Kyle Shanahan’s scheme very quickly and his combination of quick decision-mak-
ing, accuracy, and a quick release looks like a great fit in San Francisco.
AT A GLANCE:
• In his limited sample size, posted the highest percentage of positively graded throws despite ranking 38th in big-time
throw percentage.
• Took care of the ball with the sixth lowest percentage of turnover-worthy plays.
• Posted the top PFF grade both under pressure and on third down during his six-game stretch.

2015 1045 543 379 69.8% 4166 7.7 29 11
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
The Redskins have been hesitant to lock Cousins up long-term, but they’ve paid him handsomely as they sort things out.
Cousins has been outstanding statistically, though Washington’s offensive system and Cousins pre-2017 supporting cast
deserve more than a hat tip. Still, Cousins has posted solid grades since 2015, and with strong playmakers on the outside,
he can put up the required production that puts him among the top 10-15 quarterbacks in the league.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked 10th in adjusted completion percentage in 2017 (74.4) and ninth in 2016 (76.3).
• Led the league with 1,359 yards on deep passes in 2016, but that number dropped to 825 last season. His adjusted
completion percentage on deep passes dropped by nearly 10 points (50.0 to 40.9)
• Ranked only 28th out of 45 qualifiers in PFF grade on short (1-9-yard) passes.
• Ranked 22nd in the NFL at avoiding turnover-worthy plays last season.

2015 1017 532 346 65.0% 3725 7.0 19 14
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Every time Bradford appears ready to take the next step in his career, injury strikes. That was the case early in 2017, as
Bradford was coming off one of the best games of the season in Week 1 but only played a half of football the rest of the year.
Bradford did see full-time action in both 2015 and 2016, posting the top grades of his career at 86.2 and 83.4, respectively.
It’s a wide-open quarterback market and Bradford will likely grab another starting gig this offseason.
AT A GLANCE:
• Led the league with an adjusted completion percentage of 80.9 in 2016, including the No. 3 adjusted completion
percentage when pressured (77.3 percent).
• Led the NFL with an adjusted completion percentage on deep (20-plus yard) throws in 2016 (57.4 percent) and ranked
third with a passer rating of 121.5.
• Even in years with solid grading, has yet to put together dominant statistical season.
• Ranked only 36th in percentage of positively graded throws, but was fifth-best at avoiding negatively graded throws

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Hoping for a breakout 2016 season after two solid years, Bridgewater experienced a knee injury in training camp that
stole a year-and-a-half of his career, and it’s still unknown if he can return to his previous levels of play. He’s one of many
intriguing quarterback candidates on the open market, and he will at least have a chance to compete for a starting job
somewhere.
AT A GLANCE:
• Started his career with solid grades of 84.6 in 2014 and 82.1 in 2015, both ranking among the top 15 among
quarterbacks.
• Led the league with an adjusted completion percentage of 79.3 in 2015, while ranking second with an adjusted
completion percentage of 72.8 when pressured.
• Faced pressure on 46.9 percent of dropbacks in 2015, highest in the NFL.
• Tied for 22nd in adjusted completion percentage on deep (20-plus yard) passes in 2015 (37.5 percent) and ranked 32nd

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A trade deadline rumor that had McCarron going to Cleveland fell through at the last minute, and the 2014 fifth-rounder
remained a Bengal for the rest of the 2017 season. Rumors have circulated about his value since his solid three-start stretch
in 2015, but it’s unknown just how much the league values his future. We’ll find out as he’s now a free agent and his nation-
al championship/Alabama pedigree is sure to woo a suitor or two.
AT A GLANCE:
• Posted a 76.9 regular-season grade in 2015 and a 74.5 overall grade after a poor playoff start dropped him back down.
• Did a solid job of taking care of the ball during his 2015 stint, ranking sixth in the NFL at avoiding turnover-worthy
plays.
• Including the playoffs, had an adjusted completion percentage of 77.6 percent in 2015, which would have tied for
sixth among qualifiers.

RUNNING BACK OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
The running back position in today’s NFL has become a position that can be filled in a variety of different
ways, from do-it-all bell cows to backfields by committee, and there is something for everybody in this free
agent group.
Le’Veon Bell brings the star power as well as arguably the league’s best all-around back. He is an elite
ball-carrier and a player with a unique running style, but he is also one of the best receivers to ply his trade
at the running back position. Bell wants a monster contract to compensate the monster workload he has
had, and he is the marquee name for everybody to chase.
Outside of Bell, there are backs that can carry the load for an offense and backs that have experience and
proficiency in doing a bit of everything. Bell may be the only big-time stud in the class, but there are plen-
ty of talented backs available in this year’s free agent crop.
SIGNATURE STATS:
Elusive Rating
As dependent on their blocking as they are, what are running backs actually creating on their own? The
PFF Elusive Rating sifts out their work beyond the help they get. Using the number of missed tackles
runners force on all touches (rushing and receiving) and our Yards After Contact tallies, the Elusive
Rating formula spits out a score that helps rank the league’s best at making things happen when it’s
completely up to them.
Pass-Blocking Efficiency
Making full use of our snap data and pressure tallies, plays spent in pass protection are compared to
the total number of quarterback disruptions allowed by each player. The Pass-blocking efficiency (PBE)
formula weighs sacks a bit heavier than hits and hurries and produces a rating that reflects the most
efficient pass blockers on a per-pass-blocking snap basis with scores closer to 100 being best. We’ve got
these ratings available for full offensive line units and individually for tackles, guards, centers, tight
ends, and running backs.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Coming off his worst-graded season due to shoddy work in the pass game, both as a receiver and as a blocker, Hyde is a
one-dimensional back who has always graded above average as a runner. No running back gave up more than Hyde’s 13
pressures in pass protection, and he also finished with the worst drop rate in the league at 13.2 percent. As a runner, Hyde
has had a productive four-year career, but he needs to be managed in the pass game in a platoon situation.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked 19th among running backs with an elusive rating of 45.7, forcing 54 total missed tackles and averaging 2.53
YAC/Attempt.
• Averaged at least 2.8 yards after contact per rush in his first three years, all well above-average.
• Forced a missed tackle every 5.3 rushes last season, 11th-best among running backs.
• Averaged 5.9 yards per reception in his career and forced a missed tackle on only 15 of 109 receptions.

2015 406 83 317 3.8 169 2.0 27 7 3 0
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Darren Sproles has been used his entire career as a matchup weapon for an offense. Small in stature, he was never going to
be anybody’s workhorse back, but he has been one of the league’s most devastating receiving weapons out of the backfield
as he’s too fast and dynamic for linebackers to cover. At 34 and coming off an ACL injury, Sproles has major question marks
heading into 2018, but he was always more of a role player, so he will likely still find a spot in the right offense.
AT A GLANCE:
• Recorded just 15 carries in 2017, forcing two missed tackles and averaging 2.47 yards after contact.
• Ranked No. 18 in elusive rating (47.2) among running backs with at least 83 attempts in 2016.
• Forced 19 missed tackles on 94 carries, and he forced another seven missed tackles on 52 receptions.
• Fits as a scat back option in a pass-oriented offense, but has the ability to carry the ball to good effect.
• Injury and age mean he isn’t a top-tier free agent, but if he can come back healthy, he’ll still make an impact.

2015 302 49 234 4.8 160 3.3 13 19 2 0
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Quietly one of the best running backs in the league in 2017, Lewis finished with an 89.4 overall grade that ranked third in
the NFL. Lewis finally got his first chance to shine in 2015 – his fifth year in the league – and he was a dynamic weapon for
the Patriots before going down due to injury. He was back to form last season, making defenders miss both as a runner and
as a receiver. His best fit may be in New England, but he’ll garner interest on the open market.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had more carries in the regular season (180) than all previous years combined (174, including the playoffs).
• Runs well between the tackles, finding daylight and knifing through tight holes.
• Forced a missed tackle every 4.3 carries, third best in the league and finished third with an elusive rating of 73.2.
• Forced 24 missed tackles on only 36 receptions in 2015.
• Played only 102 career snaps prior to his 2015 breakout with New England.

2015 709 260 967 3.7 584 2.2 37 36 6 4
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Heading into his 14th year in the league, Gore continues to tote the rock and his dependability may be the best trait in his
underrated career. His production has taken a hit in recent years, but last year saw him make the most of his poor run
blocking in Indianapolis. At this point in his career, Gore is a complementary back who can keep an offense on schedule,
but he is unlikely to provide big plays either as a runner or as a receiver.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had only seven “explosive” (15-plus yard) runs on 261 carries, the third-worst percentage in the league at 12.1.
• Averaged a career-low 3.7 yards per carry in 2017, but his 2.5 yards after contact per rush (tied for 33rd in the league)
was his best since 2012.
• Ranked 35th out of 53 qualifiers with an elusive rating of 34.8 percent.
• Has over 200 carries in every year since 2006.

2015 486 185 706 3.8 426 2.3 54 21 4 0
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Coming off a career-year statistically in 2016, Crowell settled back into his career baseline, averaging 4.1 yards per carry
and adding 28 catches out of the backfield. He graded at 75.0 in 2015 and 74.4 in 2016, but his 62.8 mark ranked only 46th
among running backs last season. Crowell is at his best working downhill and does depend on strong offensive line play
for his production.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked 36th among running backs with an elusive rating of 33.7 last season.
• Forced a missed tackle once every 9.8 carries, 48th in the league.
• Forced 27 missed tackles on 96 career receptions.
• Posted career-highs in yards per attempt (4.8), yards after contact per attempt (3.2) and missed tackles forced (23) in
2016, but also had two fumbles as a runner.

2015 163 52 271 5.2 122 2.3 68 12 2 0
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
McKinnon had flashed his potential at various points in his career, but he did a fine job maximizing what was given to him
by his run blocking in 2017. The numbers weren’t great overall, but he posted a career-high with 2.6 yards after contact
per rush, and he made defenders miss better than he had in previous seasons and added great value as a receiver. He may
never escape the “change-of-pace” label, but McKinnon adds a versatile threat to any team’s backfield.
AT A GLANCE:
• Posted a career-high 83.9 overall grade due to his efficiency as a runner despite a run-blocking unit that ranked 27th
in the NFL.
• Forced a missed tackle every 5.0 carries, eighth-best in the NFL.
• Ranked 16th in elusive rating at 51.0.
• Earned career-high receiving grade at 82.6 to go with career-highs in receptions (54) and yards (427).

Few running backs can impact the game like Bell, who runs with a unique, uber-patient approach that allows him to make
the most out of every play. He’s also a weapon in the pass game, where he uses the same skill set to run excellent routes,
both out of the backfield and when split out wide. Bell is one of the league’s best mismatch creators at any position, though
any big-money he receives must come with the caveat that he has 833 touches over the last two years.
AT A GLANCE:
• Overall grade of 84.3 and 4.0 yards per attempts were both lowest marks for Bell since his rookie season in 2013.
• Forced a missed tackle every 7.3 rushes, 27th in the league.
• Saw second-most targets among running backs with 103, but ranked only 32nd in yards per route run at 1.31.
• Among running backs with at least 150 carries, ranked sixth with an elusive rating of 54.7 in 2016, but ranked only
12th last season at 39.1.

2015 310 165 703 4.3 403 2.4 38 34 6 1
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
While he looks like a downhill power back, Blount has always been an efficient runner in all schemes and a difficult tackle
once he gets to the second level. After an impressive 86.1 grade his rookie season, Blount dropped before going to New
England where he was one of the league’s most effective runners for the better part of four years. He had another good year
in Philadelphia running their versatile scheme, and Blount still has something to offer in a one-to-two-down role.
AT A GLANCE:
• Forced a missed tackle every 4.9 carries, seventh-best in the league in 2017.
• Among running backs with at least 150 carries, ranked third in elusive rating at 72.8.
• Ranked third in the league with 3.6 yards after contact per rush last season.
• Limited in the passing game with only 67 career targets and allowed six pressures on only 37 pass-blocking attempts
last season.
• Effective running outside, even if it doesn’t look pretty. Scheme-diverse runner.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A wide receiver in college, J.D. McKissic was an undrafted free agent in 2016 before being cut by the Atlanta Falcons a cou-
ple of times and ending up claimed off waivers by the Seattle Seahawks the second time. He saw just 16 snaps in 2016, but
he was on the field for 297 as a running back this past year. He flashed dynamic playmaking ability and matchup skills for
an offense looking for playmakers. Still a raw player, McKissic has room to develop.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had two runs of 15 or more yards this season from 45 attempts.
• Saw 44 targets, more than double the number of any other Seahawks running back in 2017.
• Dropped just two of 36 catchable targets for a drop rate of 5.56 percent.
• Forced only six total missed tackles from 80 touches, and gained only 2.22 yards after contact on average.
• Had the lowest elusive rating of any Seahawks back that carried the football at 16.6.
• Has athletic talent and receiving chops, but is a raw playmaker.

2015 473 187 758 4.1 473 2.5 29 26 3 3
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
It’s getting harder to remember the days where Eddie Lacy looked like a dominant back for the Packers. This season - his
first in Seattle - he saw just 69 carries and 137 snaps despite the team having him regularly on the weighing scales heading
into the season. Seattle’s backfield has been a strange breeding ground recently, and their offensive line certainly didn’t
help, but Lacy enters free agency as something of a question mark.
AT A GLANCE:
• Carried the ball 69 times in 2017 and forced just nine missed tackles. He earned a 25.7 elusive rating.
• In 2015, the last year Lacy carried the ball 100-plus times, he ranked 26th in elusive rating (36.7) among running
backs with at least 83 attempts.
• Lacy picked up 11 runs of 15 yards or more in 2015, ranking T-No. 13 among all running backs that season.
• At his best, Lacy was a bruising and effective runner, but we haven’t seen that player for some time.
• At 27, he is still in his prime, but we haven’t seen his best play for multiple seasons now.

2015 467 223 794 3.6 447 2.0 38 25 11 3
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Jeremy Hill was supposed to be the workhorse in Cincinnati, but he never really progressed and saw fewer total snaps in
each season of his career, including notching just 77 before being shut down with an ankle injury this year. Hill is a big
back whose vision has never been good enough to make up for a line that has also been declining over his tenure with the
team, but he enters free agency at just 25 years of age and could be a more productive player in the right situation.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had just 37 carries in 2017, and never more than seven in any single game as he slipped down the depth chart before
being put on injured reserve.
• On 243 total touches, Hill ranked 43rd in PFF’s elusive rating (26.3) in 2016.
• Forced 26 total missed tackles and averaged 2.46 yards after contact per attempt in 2016.
• Had just seven runs of 15 yards or more in 2016. Only two other backs with 200 plus attempts in 2016 had fewer
‘explosive’ runs.

2015 75 4 4 1.0 4 1.0 2 0 0 1
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Signed to be a member of a crowded New England Patriots backfield, Rex Burkhead had some solid plays in 2017 within
that rotation, often being used as a matchup weapon in the passing game against linebackers. Burkhead only played 195
snaps, but he had three games of 10 or more carries and two games of five or more receptions as well as being a valuable
special teams contributor. Burkhead is just 27 years old and can be a valuable and versatile backfield weapon.
AT A GLANCE:
• He played 108 of his offensive snaps running a route in the passing game last season.
• Among running backs with at least 27 targets in 2017, Burkhead ranked No. 2 in YPRR (2.35).
• On his 94 total touches, Burkhead earned a 24.0 elusive rating. He forced nine missed tackles on the ground and
another two after the catch.
• Burkhead dropped two of his 32 catchable targets in 2017, leading to a 6.25 drop rate.
• A capable ball carrier and receiver, Burkhead can be a valuable member of a backfield by committee.

2015 297 147 830 5.6 459 3.1 69 26 4 1
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
It was such a promising start to Rawls’ career in 2015, as he stepped in for Seattle to average 5.6 yards per carry and 3.1
yards after contact per rush. Even with subpar numbers in 2016, Rawls impressed with his ability to make the most of
Seattle’s poor run blocking, but that wasn’t the case last year as he struggled through his worst season. It’s worth seeing if
Rawls can regain his early magic, but last season took some of the shine off what looked like a bright future.
AT A GLANCE:
• Forced just eight missed tackles on 67 touches last season. Elusive rating of 24.1 would have ranked 45th among 53
qualifiers.
• Has five drops on 37 career catchable targets.
• Picked up a breakaway (15-plus yard) run on 41.4 percent of carries in 2015, third-highest in the league. That number
fell to only 22.3 percent in 2017.
• Only played 899 snaps in his three-year career.

2015 392 202 751 3.7 455 2.3 48 14 1 0
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
In limited action in 2017, Alfred Morris proved that he can still be a very effective ball carrier behind the Cowboys’ offen-
sive line as he filled in for a suspended Ezekiel Elliott. Morris averaged 3.3 yards after contact on his 115 carries, breaking 17
tackles and looking well capable of being a starting back in this league. He will be 30 during next season and is not much
of a receiving weapon, but he should find work as a useful member of somebody’s backfield.
AT A GLANCE:
• Was held to zero or negative yards on 19.7 percent of his carries last season, which ranked T-32nd fewest among
running backs with 20 plus attempts.
• Ranked 15th in PFF’s elusive rating (51.5) among running backs with 83-plus attempts last season.
• Forced 19 total missed tackles 2017, and he averaged 3.30 yards after contact per attempt.
• His YAC/ATT mark ranked No. 4 among the same group of running backs.
• Morris can be productive as a ball carrier but is more of a two-down threat with limited passing game talent.

WIDE RECEIVER OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
This year’s wide receiver group isn’t long on star power, but there are plenty of intriguing names
contained within the class, even with the Green Bay Packers re-signing Davante Adams not long before
he hit the market.
There is no home-run No. 1 receiver available, but there are multiple players that have the potential
to be that guy and several more with the talent to be high-level performers in specific roles within an
offense. The headline name of the group is likely Allen Robinson, who showed elite ability back in 2015
with the Jaguars, but he is coming off a down year and then a season lost entirely to an ACL injury.
Alternatively, there are players like Jarvis Landry, who doesn’t have No. 1 receiver potential, but he can
be one of the best chain-moving slot receivers in the game and has set all-time production records in
his first four seasons in the league. This year’s wide receiver market is a place where smart front offices
and capable medical staffs are going to separate themselves from the pack.
SIGNATURE STATS:
Yards Per Route Run
Not satisfied with yards per catch or even yards per target as sufficient measuring sticks for receiving
production, ‘yards per route run’ makes use of our detailed snap data that breaks down what each
player was doing on each play. Total receiving yards is divided by the number of plays a receiver spent
out in a pattern to give a mark to their per-snap contribution.
Deep Passing
As with the quarterback’s deep passing Signature Stat, this one considers only those passes that
travel over 20 yards in the air. For each wide receiver, the numbers posted include: total deep targets,
catchable deep passes, drops on deep balls, yards on deep passes, and more, ultimately resulting in
target percentage (deep targets as a percentage of all targets), drop rate, and catch rate that serve to put
numbers to the notion of the deep threat.
Drop Rate
Sticky fingers or hands of stone, the league’s best (and worst) pass-catchers are highlighted in these
tables. Adding up all of the catchable balls every player sees come his way and comparing it to the
number that he can’t haul in, the drop rate gives black-and-white backing to ‘best hands/worst hands’
arguments.
Slot Performance
As the NFL as a whole grows more and more fond of three-receiver sets, the slot receiver position takes
on increased importance. Whether they’re the quick and shifty coverage-shakers or the freakishly
big and athletic mismatches, those doing damage from the slot deserve their due. We’ve sorted out
everything from the number of routes run from the slot to targets, drops, and even slot yards per route
run.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Allen Robinson is one of the most intriguing receiver options in free agency this year. Robinson is just 24 years old, and be-
tween his college and NFL career, he has made poor quarterbacks look dramatically better with his production but strug-
gled in 2016 before tearing his ACL just three snaps into this year’s campaign. He had an overall PFF grade of 87.5 in 2015.
Robinson has elite upside, but he now has significant question marks that may dampen his market value.
AT A GLANCE:
• Dropped nine of his 82 catchable targets in 2016, ranking 75th among wide receivers with at least 44 total targets in
drop rate (10.98).
• Ranked T-No. 65 in YPRR (1.33) among that same group of wide receivers in 2016.
• Dropped one of his five catchable deep targets in 2016. He amassed 108 receiving yards on the four he did catch.
• Showed elite upside in 2015, making Blake Bortles look better by bailing out a lot of poorly thrown passes.
• Best play is now two seasons and one ACL injury in the past, but he is just 24 years old.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Durability and availability has always been the biggest knock on Danny Amendola, and he has never played more than 60
percent of his team’s offensive snaps over a season. When on the field, though, he can be a very effective slot receiver and
has made plenty of notable key plays over the years. At 32 years of age, his peak may be behind him, and that lack of play-
ing time won’t help his market, but he can still find a role in many receiving groups throughout the league.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned a 77.3 overall grade in 2017. He has earned a 75.0-plus overall grade for three consecutive seasons.
• Had a WR rating of 103.1 when targeted, ranking 25th among wide receivers with 25-plus targets.
• Averaged 1.76 yards per route run from the slot, ranking 17th among wide receivers with 112 slot routes in 2017.
• Amendola ranked 32nd in overall YPRR (1.69) among wide receivers with at least 41 targets in 2017.
• Has never played more than 60 percent of his team’s offensive snaps, and is now 32 years old.

2015 853 64 100 64.0% 733 262 4.1 11.5 7.3 6 4
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Donte Moncrief is a player everybody has been waiting to break out for some time now and at this point in his career, it
seems he may be destined to always be more potential than production. His best season from a production standpoint
came back in 2015, and that production has declined in each of the past two years, but he enters free agency just 24 years
old and still in possession of all of the athletic talent and potential that had people talking.
AT A GLANCE:
• Recorded just 41 targets last season and averaged just 1.02 yards per route run last season, ranking 80th among
qualifying wide receivers.
• Dropped four of his 30 catchable targets, ranking 82nd in drop rate among wide receivers in drop rate (13.33).
• Caught four of his six catchable deep targets (two drops) last season, leading to 162 deep receiving yards and two
touchdowns.
• Hasn’t been helped by the situation in Indianapolis and could be a breakout candidate in a new environment.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A big free agent signing a few years ago by the New York Jets, Eric Decker had one big season in 2015 before injuries struck
and caused the Jets to reevaluate his worth there, ultimately cutting him a year ago. He then signed a one-year deal with
the Titans, where he played a lot but couldn’t rediscover his production, notching fewer than 700 receiving yards and scor-
ing just twice on his way to an overall PFF grade of only 71.8. Decker now enters free agency at 30 years old.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned an overall grade of 71.1 in 2017, his lowest season-long overall grade since 2011.
• Dropped his only catchable deep target in 2017.
• Earned an 88.6 wide receiver rating in 2017, ranking 49th among wide receivers with 41-plus targets.
• Dropped five of his 39 catchable targets last season, ranking 59th among that same group of wide receivers in drop
rate (8.47).
• Decker’s career has been derailed by injuries, but could still be a valuable possession receiver.

2015 891 110 155 71.0% 1157 571 5.2 10.5 7.5 4 7
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Something of a polarizing receiver, Jarvis Landry has set records in his time in Miami, but he displeases many who want
their receivers to be more of a down field threat. Landry is a machine from the slot and has topped 80 in overall PFF grade
each year of his career. He likely has a ceiling in terms of the role he can have within an offense, but if your team values
that role, there is no better option to fill it than Landry. He should be very sought after.
AT A GLANCE:
• Dropped seven of his 119 catchable targets last season, ranking 35th in drop rate (5.88).
• Ranked 36th in wide receiver rating (96.8), catching 112 passes and seeing just four targets intercepted.
• Landry ranked 36th among wide receivers with 41-plus targets last season in YPRR (1.65).
• Running 64.8 percent of his routes from the slot last season, Landry averaged 1.59 YPRR in the slot to rank 24th
among wide receivers with at least 112 slot routes.
• Doesn’t have the down field chops of other top receivers, but can be among the game’s best from the slot.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
When Carson Palmer regressed so did the receivers he was throwing to outside of Larry Fitzgerald. One of the weapons
in Arizona’s formidable 2015 passing attack, John Brown topped 1,000 receiving yards in that great season, but he hasn’t
matched that total in the two years since and added to those woes by dealing with injuries as well. Brown is a smaller re-
ceiver but a speedster who can make big plays in the right system with the right player throwing him the football.
AT A GLANCE:
• Among the 62 wide receivers with at least 112 slot snaps last season, Brown ranked 60th in YPRR from the slot (0.57).
• Dropped three of his 24 catchable targets last season, ranking T-No. 79 in drop rate (12.5).
• Earned a career-low 50.2 overall grade last season, falling 25.1 points below his previous career-low mark in 2014.
• Was a force in 2015 when Carson Palmer had a career year, but hasn’t been able to produce with subpar QB play.
• 27 years old with elite speed. A team with a proven quarterback could make real use out of him.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Used as a makeweight in the trade for Bills corner Ronald Darby before the season, Matthews played the second-most
snaps of any Buffalo receiver, but he couldn’t generate any kind of production in a struggling passing offense, gaining only
282 yards on over 500 snaps on offense. Matthews earned the lowest grade of his career at just 41.7 overall despite still
playing in the slot on most of his snaps. He hits free agency at the lowest possible value point.
AT A GLANCE:
• Among 117 NFL wide receivers with 285 total offensive snaps, Matthews ranked No. 114 in overall grade (41.7).
• On his 282 routes, Matthews averaged just 0.91 yards per route run, one of the lowest marks in the league.
• Dropped two of his 27 catchable targets, earning a 7.41 drop rate.
• Has been a productive slot receiver in the past but struggled badly in a low-production passing attack in 2017.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Hard to believe now that the Steelers had to pull a late audible to invest in Antonio Brown rather than extend Mike Wallace
to a big-money contract, but that’s the standing Wallace was once seen in before failing to have the same level of produc-
tion anywhere else. Wallace played more snaps than any other Ravens wideout this year, but he gained just 1.64 yards per
route run. At 31 years old, he is likely only a situational deep threat at this point.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked 32nd in drop rate (5.45), dropping three of his 55 catchable targets in 2017.
• Wide receiver rating of 93.5 ranked 42nd among wide receivers with 41-plus targets last season.
• Catching all nine of his catchable deep targets, Wallace ranked 12th among all NFL wide receivers in deep passing
yards (329).
• Can still scare a defense deep, but offers little beyond that. A contributor only in a receiver corps.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Paul Richardson has flashed the ability to make spectacular plays within the Seahawks’ offense, but he hasn’t been able
to put it all together as a consistent productive receiver and has never topped an overall PFF grade of 78.0 over a season.
Some of that is undoubtedly due to the volatile nature of Seattle’s offense. At 25 years old, he may intrigue some teams that
think there is more to come in a more consistent and conventional passing attack.
AT A GLANCE:
• Catching all eight of his catchable deep targets, Richardson ranked 18th in deep passing yards (300) among wide
receivers with at least four deep targets last season.
• Ranked T-No. 20 in wide receiver rating (104.3) among wide receivers with at least 41 total targets last season.
• Dropped eight of his 52 catchable deep targets, ranking 86th among wide receivers with at least 41 total targets in
drop rate (15.38).
• Averaged just 1.29 yards per route run in 2107, ranking 69th among that same group of wide receivers.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Sammy Watkins was the subject of a big trade when drafted, and then a far less spectacular one on the eve of the 2017
season and now hits free agency as something of an unfulfilled potential. He has speed to burn but has all too often missed
time and been ineffective when playing through minor injuries. He was one of the few players not to benefit significantly
within Sean McVay’s offense and though he scored eight times, he gained just 1.30 yards per route run.
AT A GLANCE:
• Averaged 1.30 yards per route run last season, ranking 68th among wide receivers with at least 41-plus targets.
• Caught all three of his catchable deep targets in 2017 for 145 yards, his biggest asset.
• Earned an overall grade of 76.2. He’s now earned a 72.0-plus overall grade in all four seasons on his career.
• 2015 showed his potential with a 1,000-yard season, nine touchdowns and a PFF grade of 87.5.
• Can make spectacular plays, but he has rarely lived up to draft status, may be best as a deep threat.

2015 412 28 48 58.3% 241 125 4.5 8.6 5.0 0 5
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
An undrafted free agent, Taylor Gabriel had a couple of seasons with the Browns before being released and signed by
Atlanta. During the team’s 2016 Super Bowl run, Gabriel was a vital component of that high-flying offense as a deep threat
and screen weapon despite being just 5-foot-8 and under 170 pounds. Gabriel was far less productive this past season and
hits free agency as a talent in need of the right situation to be productive.
AT A GLANCE:
• Among wide receivers with 41-plus targets last season, Gabriel ranked 45th in WR rating (90.5).
• Ranked 77th among that same group of wide receivers in YPRR (1.09) last season.
• Dropped just one of his 34 catchable targets, ranking T-No. 8 among receivers with at least 41 total targets.
• Averaged 7.8 yards per reception after the catch in 2016, taking short passes and turning them into big gains.
• Gabriel has elite speed and quickness, but is a small receiver and needs the right situation to produce.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Terrelle Pryor entered the league as a quarterback before giving up on that and attempting to reinvent himself as a wide-
out. He looked remarkably polished in his first year playing that position with the Browns in 2016, but he couldn’t do
better than a one-year prove-it deal a season ago. He struggled far more in Washington and now enters free agency again
as a player with less leverage. Pryor has significant upside as a possession receiver, albeit at 28 years of age.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned a wide receiver rating 87.8 last season, catching 20-of-35 targets for 240 yards and one touchdown.
• Dropped four of his 24 catchable targets to earn 16.67 drop rate last season.
• After his breakout year in 2016 (79.7 overall), he fell back down to earth, earning an overall mark of 43.1.
• Pryor gained over 1,000 receiving yards in his first year playing the position in 2016 with the Browns.
• Has speed, but isn’t a sudden mover, limiting him to more of a possession receiver role.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Willie Snead was an undrafted free agent in 2014, bouncing around multiple teams before becoming one of the league’s
most productive slot receivers in New Orleans with Drew Brees throwing him the football. Snead was suspended before
the 2017 season after crashing into a parked car and failing a subsequent breathalyzer test. He only missed three games,
but he was barely a feature of the offense upon his return. He is a restricted free agent off a down year but has plenty of
productive tape.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked ninth in YPRR from the slot (1.89) in 2016.
• Dropped five of his 77 catchable deep targets to earn a 6.45 drop rate in 2016, which ranked 45th among wide
receivers with at least 44 total targets.
• Earned 79.9 and 84.1 overall grades in 2015 and 2016, respectively. He dropped to 56.8 in 2017 within his limited snap
count.
• Was an incredibly productive slot receiver during his first two years before barely featuring in 2017.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
There are few physical talents in the league like Josh Gordon, but he has spent the majority of his career suspended from
the league at this point, only getting back on the field for the first time since the 2014 season in Week 13 this year. Gordon
was immediately Cleveland’s most effective receiver and showcased the ability to dominate. His potential remains sky
high, but obviously concerns over his reliability long-term are significant. He has elite-level potential.
AT A GLANCE:
• Trailed only Detroit’s Calvin Johnson in YPRR in 2013, gaining 2.68 yards for every snap spent in a pass pattern.
• That same year had a WR rating of 111.6, 6th in the NFL despite QBs that had overall passer ratings in the 70s.
• Caught six deep touchdowns in 2013 from 36 targets, the third-most in the league.
• Has elite potential and physical talent, but has been suspended for more NFL games than he has played.
• Hit the ground running in 2017 when reinstated despite multiple years on the shelf.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Cameron Meredith was an undrafted free agent in 2015 and became a starter in Chicago the following year, showing some
significant upside down the stretch in that season despite a less than ideal quarterback situation. Any further develop-
ment was put on hold when he suffered a torn ACL in the offseason. Meredith missed all of the past year and is a restricted
free agent, but he is long on athletic talent and has some flashes of excellence on tape.
AT A GLANCE:
• In 2016, he caught seven of his eight catchable deep targets for 205 receiving yards and four touchdowns.
• He ranked 35th in wide receiver rating (99.8) among wide receivers with at least 44 total targets in 2016.
• Running 52.1 percent of his routes from the slot in 2016., Meredith averaged 1.84 YPRR on such routes.

TIGHT END OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
Jimmy Graham and Tyler Eifert are the story here, but both aren’t without their flaws. Graham is coming
off his lowest-graded season as a pro and will turn 32 next season. Eifert, on the other hand, hasn’t had a
full season in his entire career and managed all of 104 snaps this year before going on IR. After the top two,
there’s a handful of No. 2 tight ends available.
SIGNATURE STATS:
Yards Per Route Run
Not satisfied with Yards Per Catch or even Yards Per Target as sufficient measuring sticks for receiving
production, ‘Yards Per Route Run’ makes use of our detailed snap data that breaks down what each
player was doing on each play. Total receiving yards is divided by the number of plays a receiver spent
out in a pattern to give a mark to their per-snap contribution.
Drop Rate
Sticky fingers or hands of stone, the league’s best (and worst) pass-catchers are highlighted in these
tables. Adding up all of the catchable balls every player sees come his way and comparing it to the
number that he can’t haul in, the Drop Rate gives black-and-white backing to ‘best hands/worst hands’
arguments.

2015 510 56 75 74.7% 630 234 4.2 11.3 8.4 5 3
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
With his hands and route running ability, Gates could still be catching passes from Philip Rivers when he’s 40. At 37 now
though, it’s clear that any speed to challenge down the field of the defense is gone. He had one catch all season long target-
ed over 20 yards down the field. His connection with Rivers may still have value in the red zone, though, as there’s likely
zero chance he ends up anywhere other than the Chargers if he plays next season.
AT A GLANCE:
• Dropped one pass on 31 catchable targets this season.
• Earned a 73.9 overall grade this year.
• Over a decade removed from his career-high grade in 2007.

2015 348 23 30 76.7% 288 52 2.3 12.5 9.6 3 0
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Brate is as much a slot receiver in the Bucs’ offense as he is a tight end, but he’s been one of Jameis Winston’s favorite tar-
gets in that role. He saw over twice as many targets as first-round pick O.J. Howard this past season. Brate has also proven
to be reliable with only five drops on 134 catchable passes in his career. There’s little doubt Tampa Bay will want to keep the
restricted free agent in the fold.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had an 80.0 overall grade in 2017.
• Dropped only 3 passes on 51 catchable targets this year.
• Finished ninth among starting tight ends averaging 1.51 yards per route run.

2015 214 21 38 55.3% 338 101 4.8 16.1 8.9 4 4
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
The former high second-round pick fizzled out of Tampa Bay after only two and a half seasons. He had a career year this
past season in terms of production, but he was still fairly limited as a receiver. His 7.1 yards per catch was the lowest of any
starting tight end in the NFL. Seferian-Jenkins proved to be at least a competent run blocker and would at least be a solid
No. 2.
AT A GLANCE:
• Dropped only two passes on 52 catchable targets.
• Finished 40th out of 43 qualifying tight ends in yards per route run (0.94).
• Earned a 47.6 overall grade in 2017.

2015 583 48 68 70.6% 605 224 4.7 12.6 8.9 2 2
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Just as the Seahawks finally figured out how to utilize Graham in the red zone, he’s primed to hit the open market once
again. Unfortunately for him, his usefulness outside the red zone was minimal this past season. Only nine of Graham’s 57
catches were thrown further than 10 yards down the field. Graham may have slowed a tad at 31 years of age, but you can’t
teach tight ends to be 6- foot 7 with his ball skills and leaping ability.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had issues with drops once again with 7 on 64 catchable targets.
• Had 15 drops on 100 catchable targets in 2012.
• Never saw over 100 targets in a Seahawks uniform after seeing over 120 every year from 2011-2014.

2015 464 17 25 68.0% 213 101 5.9 12.5 8.5 1 1
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Willson has played second fiddle to Graham over the past three seasons and been solid in that role. He’s a plus run blocker
and on 52 catches over that span, he’s broken eight tackles and dropped three passes. He could start again in a pinch, but
he is likely limited to being a number two at this point in his career.
AT A GLANCE:
• Registered a 48.0 overall grade this past season.
• Has seen only 150 total targets in his five-year career.
• Broke nine tackles on 28 catches back in 2014.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
The injury-prone label is a tough one to shake, but it will undoubtedly be applied to Eifert this offseason -- and rightfully
so. Injuries have limited him to only 39 games over five seasons, and he’s yet to play all 16 once. The talent is obviously
there for the former first rounder, as he scored 13 touchdowns in 13 games back in 2015, but he’ll have to make it through a
full season before he gets a contract that reflects it.
AT A GLANCE:
• Career-high 87.2 overall grade came back in 2015.
• Has only 2,064 snaps in his five-year career.
• Has dropped 15 of 147 catchable passes in his career.

OFFENSIVE LINE
OVERVIEW:
As it stands, 14 starting offensive linemen from this past season are set to become unrestricted free agents.
Of them, 10 are guards, three are centers and only one is a tackle. That doesn’t bode well for teams in need
of pass protection on the edge. It does, however, for Nate Solder, as he could command a nice contract
with how desperate some teams are for the position. The best of the group, though, is undoubtedly An-
drew Norwell, who is coming off a season in which he was PFF’s All-Pro left guard.
SIGNATURE STATS:
Pass-blocking efficiency
Making full use of our snap data and pressure tallies, plays spent in pass protection are compared to
the total number of QB disruptions allowed by each player. The Pass-blocking efficiency (PBE) formula
weighs sacks a bit heavier than hits and hurries and produces a rating that reflects the most efficient
pass blockers on a per-pass-blocking snap basis with scores closer to 100 being best. We’ve got these
ratings available for full O-line units and individually for tackles, guards, centers, tight ends, and
running backs.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
While Solder has been a solid left tackle over the course of his career, ever since the Super Bowl last year he’s looked like a
completely different player. In that game, he allowed a ludicrous 13 pressures in one of the lowest graded performances in
recent memory. He followed that up with the worst season of his career this past year, allowing four-plus hurries in eight
separate games. At only 29 years old, it’s unlikely he’s reached the end of his usefulness.
AT A GLANCE:
• Allowed 51 total pressures (41 hurries, 6 hits, 4 sacks), which was tied for the fifth-most among all NFL OTs.
• Ranked T-56th in PBE among OTs with 178-plus pass-block snaps last season.
• Solder earned a positive grade on 11.1 percent of his run-block snaps last season, ranking 12th among OTs with 300-
plus pass-block snaps.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
It’s been an up-and-down career for Fusco, who bounced back in 2017 to post a 76.0 overall grade, good for 22nd among
guards. After a breakout 2013 campaign in which he ranked eighth among guards, Fusco battled injury in 2014 before
putting together two subpar seasons in 2015 and 2016. He’s worth a look after reclaiming some of his early-career success
last season.
AT A GLANCE:
• Allowed 29 total pressures in 2017 (five sacks, three hits, 21 hurries) after allowing 34 pressures in 2016 and 55
pressures in 2015.
• Allowed only 23 pressures in career-best 2013 season.
• Ranked 26th among guards in percentage of positively graded run blocks in 2017.

2016 630 411 219 3 0 1 17
2015 1050 690 360 6 0 11 33
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A promising start to Mewhort’s career has been derailed by injuries over the last two seasons, as he’s played just 979 snaps
since 2015. His first three years saw him post grades between 77.1 and 84.1 before his injury-riddled, 313-snap 2017 season
saw him grade at 46.1 overall. Knee issues will be the big question mark for Mewhort as he hits free agency, and if he gets
good reports in that area, there will be a market for one of the better young guards in the league.
AT A GLANCE:
• Allowed 10 pressures (one sack, two hits, seven hurries) on 168 pass-block snaps last season, good for a 95.4 pass-
blocking efficiency.
• Ranked 22nd in pass-blocking efficiency in 2016, allowing 18 pressures (QB hit, 17 hurries) on 442 attempts.
• Ranked 14th among guards as a run-blocker in 2015 (83.3) and 18th in 2016 (77.3).

2015 758 482 276 5 3 1 8
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
His outstanding career has slowed down in recent years, but Evans has still proven to be a useful player. He was a domi-
nant run-blocker in his early years, ranking among the top-10 guards in five of his first six seasons, but he’s tapered off as
he’s aged and is coming off the lowest-graded season of his career at 71.7 overall. While the elite guard appears to be long
gone, Evans still has value, particularly given the state of the NFL’s guard play, and he’s worth a look on a short-term deal.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked among the top-20 guards in six of his 12 years in the league, including the top ranking in 2009.
• Ranked above-average in percentage of positively graded run blocks in 2017.
• Allowed only 22 pressures on 568 pass-block snaps last season, good for a pass-blocking efficiency of 97.0 (21st
among guards)
• Last two seasons have represented the lowest PFF grades of Evans’ career (74.1 in 2016, 71.7 in 2017).

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Berger has had a renaissance of sorts late in his career, but for a guard who will turn 36 in May, his best days are clearly
behind him. After Berger was PFF’s highest-graded center in 2015, he’s seen his grade decline in each subsequent season.
In his prime, Berger was one of the best offensive linemen in the league on interior double teams, but his run blocking has
slipped considerably since then.
AT A GLANCE:
• 89.1 overall grade in 2015.
• Earned a 77.6 overall grade this season.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Annually underrated, Greco played only 105 snaps last year after being cut by the Browns in the preseason. He’s only two
years removed from ranking 18th among guards with an 81.3 overall grade, but he failed to catch on last year, and there
may be a limited market for his services once again. Greco showed he can still play with an excellent Week 17 performance
against the Redskins, so he could catch on as a backup who is more than capable of stepping in and playing quality snaps.
AT A GLANCE:
• Allowed only one pressure on 52 pass-block snaps last season.
• Has five career grades of 80.0-plus and ranked among the top-35 guards every year from 2012 to 2016.
• In 2016, tied for 35th among guards with a pass-blocking efficiency of 96.1 (18 pressures on 369 pass-block snaps).

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Kline has been a solid if unspectacular starter for the past three seasons (two with Tennessee and one with New England).
Five years into his NFL career, it’s fairly clear that’s who he is at this point. He’s coming off a career year in pass protection,
where he allowed only two combined sacks and hits all season long. There are a lot of guard needy teams that would pay
handsomely for that kind of production.
AT A GLANCE:
• 97.4 pass-blocking efficiency was 15th-best among guards.
• 79.3 overall grade in 2016 was a career high.
• Two highest grades of the season came in Weeks 1 and 2 this past year.

2016 831 528 303 5 1 4 11
2015 736 463 273 4 3 5 9
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
After a string of above-average seasons, Boone struggled to the lowest grade of his career in 2017, finishing at 39.5 overall.
Boone can create movement at the point of attack, and he had only one below-average season in pass protection until 2017.
But he took a big step back in that department and ranked 48th among guards at 47.2. Boone is a viable guard if he can get
back to previous levels, but his play in 2017 is a concern.
AT A GLANCE:
• Overall grade had never dropped below 70.8 for a season in his career before last season.
• Allowed 27 total pressures (18 hurries, 2 hits, 7 sacks) in 2017 to tie for 50th in pass-blocking efficiency among
guards.
• Ranked only 82nd among guards in percentage of positively graded run blocks last season.
• Finished with a career-high 87.9 grade in 2012, third-best among guards.

2016 1052 611 441 5 3 3 23
2015 785 421 364 0 2 1 19
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Norwell has had an excellent career, ranking among the top-15 guards in the NFL in each of his four seasons. He can make
all of the necessary blocks in the run game, and he was one of the best pass protectors in the league last year, allowing only
15 pressures (all hurries) on 651 pass-blocking snaps including the playoffs. Norwell tied for third among guards with a
career-high 88.7 overall grade in 2017, his fourth straight year over 82.0 overall.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had the fourth-lowest percentage of negatively graded blocks among guards in 2017 and the seventh-lowest
percentage in 2016.
• Plays with good balance in the run game and gives running backs clean looks, rarely losing blocks.
• Ranked second in pass-blocking efficiency during the 2017 regular season, allowing only 13 pressures on 563 pass-
blocking snaps.
• Only guard with at least 200-plus pass-block snaps last season to not allow a single sack or QB hit.

2016 660 412 248 3 2 4 12
2015 915 555 360 4 2 1 22
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Annually one of the league’s better guards, Pugh battled injuries to post the worst grade of his career in 2017 at 52.4. He’s
closer to the 78-to-85 overall-graded player that he showed in his first four years in the league and that includes two solid
years at right tackle to kick off his career. Assuming he’s healthy, Pugh is one of the better guards on the market with posi-
tional versatility only adding to his value.
AT A GLANCE:
• Played 128 offensive snaps at left guard last season and 308 snaps at right tackle in 2017.
• Allowed 18 total pressures on 184 pass-block snaps last season, good for pass-blocking efficiency of 92.4.
• Ranked as a top-20 run-blocking guard in both 2015 and 2016.
• Ranked 29th among right tackles with 78.8 overall grade in 2014 and ranked 32nd among right tackles with 78.4
grade in 2013.
• Excellent blocking on the move, either at the second level or as a puller.

2016 970 591 379 1 2 8 18
2015 1025 575 450 5 2 1 9
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
It’s been a productive career for Slauson, who has graded among the top-33 guards three times while adding a solid season
at center in 2016. The 2017 season represented the lowest grade of his career at 45.0 overall in just seven games before a
biceps tear ended his season. Heading into his 32-year-old year, Slauson looks like a dependable short-term option, though
there is some risk involved given his play and injury last season.
AT A GLANCE:
• Graded between 73.5 and 86.5 in every season from 2010 to 2016.
• In 2017, ranked 67th among guards in impact-block percentage, finishing three percentage points below average at
8.1 percent.
• Tied for 36th in pass-blocking efficiency last season at 96.5, allowing 12 total pressures (eight hurries, four sacks).
• In his last full season at guard in 2015, ranked 13th with a run-block grade of 83.9.
• Still creates good power at the point of attack and can move defenders, especially as part of double teams.

2016 970 591 379 1 2 8 18
2015 1025 575 450 5 2 1 9
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Easton now has over 1,000 snaps to his name, yet the results still point to him being the weak link on the Vikings’ offen-
sive line. He’s a tad undersized for a guard and isn’t a particularly fluid athlete either. As a restricted free agent, the Vikings
will likely want to hold onto him to keep their line intact, but he may not draw much other interest.
AT A GLANCE:
• 97.8 pass-blocking efficiency was ninth-best among guards.
• Has only played 1,162 snaps in his career.
• Had three games this year where he didn’t allow a single pressure.

2015 368 249 119 2 2 2 13
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Spain is a bruiser of a guard who came out of seemingly nowhere to be one of the better guards in the league in 2016. He
took a bit of a step back this past season, but that could be said for the entire Titans offensive line. With right guard Josh
Kline also hitting free agency, the Titans will likely do whatever they can to hold on to Spain (a restricted free agent) to not
lose both.
AT A GLANCE:
• 95.4 pass-blocking efficiency was 54th among guards.
• Earned an 82.3 overall grade back in 2016.
• Highest graded game of the season came against Kansas City in the Wild Card round.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Giants center Weston Richburg was a top-5 graded center in the league in his second year in the league, but he hasn’t been
able to recapture that form since. Richburg is an incredibly physical center who loves going for the kill shot. That aggres-
sion, though, has worked against him at times over the past couple seasons with his propensity to overextend and whiff in
the run game. Richburg still possesses elite physical traits for the center position and can operate in any scheme.
AT A GLANCE:
• Richburg only managed 241 snaps before being placed on IR in 2017.
• Earned top-5 pass blocking grades in 2016 and 2017.
• Has only allowed four sacks in his four-year career.
• Didn’t allow a single pressure over the last four games of 2016 including the playoffs.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Once the class of the league at the position, Sullivan’s body revolted against him once he hit 30. He managed 98 total snaps
in the 2015 and 2016 seasons before the Rams got him for less than $1 million this offseason. He repaid them with a quality
season once again. He achieved a 74.6 overall grade on 927 snaps, including the postseason. Sullivan made a name for
himself running gap concepts in Minnesota, but he proved to be capable in the Ram’ outside zone heavy scheme as well.
AT A GLANCE:
• Hasn’t had a full season graded below 74 since 2009.
• Lowest-graded game of the season came in Week 14 against the Eagles where he allowed two pressures.
• Sullivan’s 97.7 pass-blocking efficiency this past season was 13th among centers.

2015 404 276 128 5 3 6 9
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Unlike many of the centers hitting free agency, Jensen is coming off a career year. That career year, though, still only netted
him a 74.9 overall grade. Jensen isn’t the most fleet-of-foot center and struggled recovering on stunts and playing in space.
He’s at his best when he can immediately engage a nose tackle at the line of scrimmage and generate movement.
AT A GLANCE:
• 98.4 pass-blocking efficiency this past season was sixth-best among centers.
• Only played 704 snaps in the four years prior to 2017.
• 94.5 overall grade in Week 5 against the Raiders was one of highest graded games all season from a center.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A former defensive lineman, Garland converted to guard in 2012 after returning from his two-year military commitment.
He bounced around practice squads before registering 476 snaps this past season. He fires low off the line of scrimmage
and had some dominant blocks when he got to square up defenders. Pass protection is much more a work in progress
though, as he allowed 11 combined sacks and hits over the last seven games of the season.
AT A GLANCE:
• Allowed seven pressures in the Wild Card game against Atlanta.
• Garland’s 92.9 pass-blocking efficiency was dead last among guards this past season.
• Had a perfect 99.9 run blocking grade in the Week 15 matchup against the Bucs.

2015 1056 657 399 1 1 9 19
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Paradis is one of the best zone centers in the game today and was far more suited to Gary Kubiak’s offense than the one
Mike McCoy installed this season. A tad undersized, Paradis makes a living off of his quick and exceptional technique.
That size will come back to haunt him at times going one-on-one in pass protection, but he’s still graded out above-average
in that regard the past two seasons.
AT A GLANCE:
• Named the AFC representative on PFF’s Pro Bowl team in 2016 and honorable mention All-Pro.
• 98.2 pass-blocking efficiency was 11th among centers this past season.
• Had six games this past season where he didn’t allow a single pressure.

INTERIOR DEFENDER OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
It’s an incredibly thin class on the defensive interior. There are only six players set to be unrestricted free
agents who were starters last season, and only two true quality starters of that bunch (Sheldon Richard-
son and Dontari Poe). From there, you have a handful of players who can still provide value to a franchise
within a certain role. Even those guys are few and far between, though. If you’re looking to add talent on
the interior this offseason, you’ll have to pay up for either Richardson or Poe or turn your attention to the
draft.
SIGNATURE STATS:
Pass-rushing Productivity
The single most referenced Signature Stat for the defensive side of the ball is our ‘Pass-rushing
Productivity’ that calculates a score to reflect the frequency of pressure generated by a defender. All
sacks, hits, and hurries are added up and (with sacks weighted heavier and some multipliers in place to
give us a workable PRP score) they’re broken down on a per-pass-rushing-snap basis.
Run-stop percentage
You finished with 120 tackles this year? That’s great, but where did you make them? If a defender is
racking up tackles but not keeping the offense from getting what they were after, how meaningful are
they? For our Run-stop percentage Signature Stat, we’ve combined our tackle totals (built from viewing
games retrospectively and with the aid of a rewind button, so consider their accuracy a step beyond
the inconsistent numbers you’ll find in the unofficial ‘official’ stats), our run defense snap counts, and
defensive Stops to produce this worthy look at individual run defense production.
Stops are what we judge to be tackles that prevent an offensive success (defined as gaining 40% of
required yardage on first down, 60% on second down, and the entire required yardage on third or
fourth) and making more of them per run defense snap will bump you on this list. Note: for safeties,
these numbers are also shown in splits for when they’ve lined up within 8 yards of the line of
scrimmage

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
If you’re a defensive line in need of competent run defense, Logan can give you that. Unfortunately, he’s never offered
much more. His most coveted trait is his athleticism to make plays up and down the line of scrimmage as a run defender.
In his most productive year under Chip Kelly in 2015, Logan was often used as a chess piece at nose tackle on stunts and
slants. He’s not a prototypical ‘hold the point’ nose tackle, though, and his athleticism has never translated to pass-rushing
AT A GLANCE:
• 14.8 run-stop percentage in 2015 was second best among defensive tackles.
• 9.8 run-stop percentage this past season was seventh-best among defensive tackles.
• His 2.3 pass-rush productivity was third-worst among defensive tackles.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
McDonald is a superb athlete for a defensive tackle who often wins or loses on first contact. The Bucs found out the hard
way, though, that McDonald is not close to an every-down player. He earned the fifth-lowest grade among qualifying inte-
rior defenders in run defense this past season after earning the 12th-lowest grade in 2016. McDonald offers little more than
a depth signing as a situational pass-rusher at this point.
AT A GLANCE:
• His 6.0 pass-rush productivity was 25th among defensive tackles.
• Had career-high grades of 78.1 in 2013 as well as 2015.
• Only had multiple pressures in four different games this season.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Poe’s value stems from his three-down ability. No nose tackle in the NFL is close to matching Poe’s 5,404 snaps since he
entered the league in 2012. Unfortunately, he’s never been the dominant force against either run or pass he was billed as
coming out of Memphis. Poe has been used as a 0-tech, 1-tech and even as a penetrating 3-tech at times this past season,
and he has been just a little more than solid at all three. That has value, though, at his volume of snaps.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had at least one run stop in the last 12 games this past season.
• Has played 79 percent of the possible defensive snaps since entering the league in 2012.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
In his prime, Richardson had the unique ability to physically overpower any offensive lineman. He has never quite been
able to recapture the production of his sophomore campaign, however. Richardson served multiple suspensions after that
year and hasn’t topped 40 pressures in either of the last two seasons. He earned an 83.8 overall grade this past season, but
it’s worth questioning if the game-changing ability will ever return.
AT A GLANCE:
• Registered six pressures in Weeks 1 (Green Bay) and 13 (Philadelphia) this past season.
• Registered 37 run stops as a rookie.
• Eight combined sacks and hits this past season was a career low.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
His rookie year, Lotulelei looked like the rare nose tackle that could add to a pass-rush -- a nose tackle worthy of a first-
round pick. However, since then that explosiveness has waned to the point where he’s not even making an impact versus
the run anymore. His 16 run stops over the past two seasons are fewer than half his rookie total (33). Someone will give
him another shot because of his first-round pedigree, but his play warrants little reason for excitement.
AT A GLANCE:
• 49.1 overall grade this past season was a career low.
• Had a 12.9 run-stop percentage as a rookie, second-best among defensive tackles.
• His 3.9 pass-rush productivity was seventh-worst among starting defensive tackles.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Johnson was seen as a designated interior pass-rusher for the majority of his career, but he has reinvented himself as an
every down 3-technique in recent years. Consistently ask him to hold up against double teams or reduce down to a 1-tech-
nique, and you’re going to have a bad time. But let him go one-on-one and shoot a gap, and he can still make plays. At 33
years old, contenders in need of interior pass-rush are going to be giving him a look at this point in his career.
AT A GLANCE:
• Johnson’s 736 snaps this past season were the second-most of his career.
• Johnson’s 9.1 run-stop percentage was 12th-best among defensive tackles and a career high.
• Only finished 24th in pass-rush productivity this past season at 5.3.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Irving came back from his PED suspension predictably at the top of his game. He racked up 30 pressures in eight games
before being lost for the season with a concussion. Irving will almost certainly draw outside interest as a restricted free
agent, as he’s still learning how to utilize his enviable skill set. Irving’s length is a nightmare for guards, and he combines it
with one of the best first punches in the game.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned an 83.4 overall grade in 2017.
• Had at least three pressures in seven of his eight games this season.
• Had 6 batted passes on 228 pass-rushes.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Nunez-Roches is a bit of an enigma for an interior defensive lineman. He has a playmaker mentality without the consis-
tent ability to actually make those plays. That can fit in some penetrating, 1-gap defenses, but in a lot of traditional run
defenses, he’d be seen as a liability. There are flashes there, but nowhere near consistent enough, as evidenced by his 47.5
pass-rush grade.

• Only had one game this past season with multiple pressures (Week 2 vs Philadelphia).
• Only had three games this past season with multiple run stops.

EDGE DEFENDER OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
Demarcus Lawrence and Ezekiel Ansah will obviously grab the headlines, but there are a handful of
intriguing names in this group that will be had for a far lower price tag. Adrian Clayborn and Alex Okafor
are both coming off breakout campaigns and will likely have to prove it again before commanding a big
pay day. Maybe the most interesting name of the bunch though is Junior Galette. The Redskins edge rush-
er looked like his old self this season after not having played since 2014 and could upgrade almost every
team in the NFL.

2015 816 366 314 7 13 42 0 24 4 4 20
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
After a promising start to his career, Lynch never quite took the next step. Few pass-rushers can match the raw tools that
Lynch possesses, but his inconsistency looks ingrained at this point. The former fifth-round pick had 62 pressures his
second season in the NFL, but he has been limited to only 379 snaps the last two seasons. His length and size make him an
intriguing prospect on the open market.
AT A GLANCE:
• 82.8 run-defense grade this past season was the highest of his career.
• 14.0 pass-rush productivity in 2015 was the fourth best of any 3-4 outside linebacker.
• Has 1,716 snaps in his career.

2015 227 124 95 1 2 11 0 11 7 1 7
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Carradine was the quintessential Trent Baalke selection in the heyday of the Harbaugh-Baalke era. He was considered
a first-round talent, but the 49ers snagged him in the second after he tore his ACL in his last season at Florida State. His
length and power perfectly fit the profile the 49ers liked on the edge, but the injury issues persisted throughout his rookie
contract. In five seasons, he’s managed all of 816 snaps, although he’s coming off a career year grade wise (78.1 overall) and
could provide value as a base end.
AT A GLANCE:
• Has only played 22.1 percent of the possible snaps when active throughout his career.
• Never played more than 229 snaps in a single season in his career.
• 6.1 run-stop percentage was 36th among 4-3 defensive ends this year.

2015 527 397 116 3 15 26 0 12 0 2 10
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Yet another player who has been plagued by injuries over his career. He had 50 total pressures as a rookie in 2011 before he
blew out his knee in his sophomore campaign. When he returned, he wasn’t nearly the same player and suffered another
season-ending injury in 2014. Finally fully healthy, Clayborn is coming off a career year. The former first rounder’s versatil-
ity will be coveted, as he’s shown the ability to kick inside to 3-technique and still get the job done.
AT A GLANCE:
• Registered six sacks, one hit, and five hurries in the Week 10 game against the Cowboys, earning the highest grade of
any edge rusher this year.
• Had nine games with three-plus pressures this year.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
It’s safe to say that no one in the league saw Okafor’s breakout coming this season. Any team could have had the former
Cardinal last offseason, but the Saints lucked into him for the small price of $2 million. Even after tearing his biceps and
ending the season on IR, that price tag is going to rise considerably. Okafor’s hand usage was much improved this season
and it showed up versus both run and pass, where he had grades over 80.0 in both.
AT A GLANCE:
• Highest graded game of the season was his 89.3 against the Redskins before he tore his biceps.
• 12.6 run-stop percentage was second best among 4-3 defensive ends this season.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Barwin’s versatility as a true 3-4 outside linebacker has always been his calling card, but in recent years his ability to rush
the passer has been bordering on liability. Outside of his quickness on stunts and blitzes, Barwin offers little as a one-on-
one passer rusher. His 7.4 pass-rush productivity was the lowest of any starting 3-4 outside linebacker this season.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned a 43.4 pass-rush grade in 2017.
• Career high 76.9 overall grade came all the way back in 2014.
• 5.3 run-stop percentage this past season was 31st out of 45 qualifying 3-4 outside linebackers.

2015 711 369 281 8 7 31 1 28 8 5 29
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Any write-up here is likely a moot point. There’s zero chance Lawrence ends up a free agent this offseason. Dallas will most
certainly franchise tag him if unable to work out a long-term deal. Finally healthy, Lawrence joined the elite group of edge
rushers with a league-leading 14.8 pass-rush productivity. His spin move and lateral agility consistently give tackles fits,
and at times this season, he had games where he simply couldn’t be blocked.
AT A GLANCE:
• 79 total pressures this past season were 33 more than his previous career high.
• 7.1 run-stop percentage was 28th among 4-3 defensive ends this past season.
• Had 13 pressures in his Week 3 matchup with the Cardinals.

2015 668 382 227 13 20 33 0 27 5 6 30
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Because of his athleticism, Ansah will always be a player that is able to convert pressure to sacks at a high rate. In fact,
five of his 11 sacks this past season came on either stunts or chasing a QB breaking the pocket. He’s still a very solid edge
defender but not the dominant force that his 48 sacks in five seasons suggests.
AT A GLANCE:
• Nine of his 11 sacks came over three games this past season (Giants, Bengals, Packers).
• 7.8 run-stop percentage was 21st among 4-3 defensive ends.

2015 712 415 209 11 8 35 0 20 6 4 24
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
As much as his 13 sacks suggests Peppers still has something left in the tank, the tape tells a different story. He ‘lucked’
into them so to speak because he can still push the pocket a bit and keep his body clean with his length. But a consistent
pass-rushing threat he is not. He only had 21 other pressures on the entire season and had eight games with one or fewer
pressures.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned a 73.0 overall grade in 2017.

2015 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Even after multiple Achilles tears, Galette proved this season he still has serious juice. Utilized in a designated pass-rush-
er role, Galette can still repeatedly clown weak offensive tackles. His unique ability to win either off the edge, through a
tackles body or inside was on full display in Washington. He racked up seven pressures on only 27 pass-rushes against the
Broncos tackles in Week 16.
AT A GLANCE:
• Missed the entire 2015 and 2016 seasons with injury.
• Only played 407 snaps this past season as a designated pass-rusher.
• Earned a 43.1 run-defense grade in his last season as a full-time starter in 2014.

2015 597 318 226 7 9 31 0 35 8 1 34
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Hayes is arguably the most underrated defensive lineman of the past five years in the NFL. He’s both a plus run defender
and pass-rusher, yet the Rams and Dolphins were unwilling to utilize him in a full-time role. He’s averaged only 458 snaps
over the last five seasons without any major injuries over that span. He’s one of the few defensive ends in the league that
can consistently move the line of scrimmage in the run game, and even at 33 years old, could upgrade almost every team in
the NFL.
AT A GLANCE:
• 11.7 run-stop percentage was fifth-best among 4-3 defensive ends.
• Had a pass-rush productivity of 10.7 this past season.
• Didn’t play more than 35 snaps in a single game this season.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
An undrafted free agent in 2014, Kerry Hyder Jr. languished on the New York Jets practice squad before winding up a De-
troit Lions player. He was signed by Detroit in January 2016 and made their final 53-man roster that season before playing
in 709 snaps over the year. He was the team’s best pass-rusher that year, generating 55 total pressures and 26 defensive
stops including their Wild Card playoff game. He missed all 2017 with a torn Achilles but showed impressive potential.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had 51 total pressures in the 2016 regular season, the 14th-most among 4-3 defensive ends.
• His pass-rush productivity was 10.5, good for T-12th that year.
• Career is just 711 total snaps old, and effectively one year of play.
• Showed impressive pass-rush and the ability to defend the run in patches that season.
• Just 26 years old, there may be impressive potential to come.

LINEBACKER OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
A position group devoid of star power, nobody is finding an impact Pro bowler from the 2017 free agent
group of linebackers. There are players available that have played at that level in the past, but age and/
or injury means they are unlikely to ever hit those heights again.
Outside of those players, this is a group with flaws or firm ceilings on their ability, but who could
provide valuable two-down additions at a time when that position is becoming less and less valued.
This year’s linebacker class is one of the weakest positions in free agency, but there are several players
that will likely find a way to contribute in 2018 and beyond and be valuable members of their defenses.
SIGNATURE STATS:

Putting missed tackles into perspective, this Signature Stat not only boils all of the tackling data down
to a simple ‘attempts per miss’ number, it also separates out the Tackling Efficiency of all linebackers

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Anthony Hitchens has played over 500 snaps every season of his NFL career, but the highest percentage was this past sea-
son, where he played 71.5 percent of the Cowboys defensive snaps and earned by far the best overall PFF grade of his career
(80.8). Hitchens was an important part of the run defense in Dallas, but coverage has been his weakness, and he is typically
just a two-down linebacker rather than a player that is still on the field in sub-packages.
AT A GLANCE:
• After earning sub-60.0 overall grades in each of his first three years in the league, Hitchens earned a career-high
80.8 overall grade in 2017.
• Among linebackers with 116-plus run-defense snaps, Hitchens ranked No. 2 in run-stop percentage (14.5). He
recorded 17 run stops on 117 run-defense snaps.
• Hitchens’ 83.1 run-defense grade ranked 22nd among qualifying linebackers last season.
• Hitchens dramatically improved in this contract year and hits free agency at 25, but he may be a two-down LB only.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Koa Misi was a solid linebacker for the Miami Dolphins whose specialty was run defense, but his run with the team, and
perhaps his NFL career, has likely been ended due to ongoing neck injuries. Misi barely played in 2016 before being shut
down for the entire 2017 season back in July and never even making it on the field. Misi’s NFL career may well be over, but
if he is cleared to play medically, he can be an effective two-down linebacker in this league.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned a 9.7 run-stop percentage in 2016, recording six run stops on just 62 run-defense snaps.
• In 2016, Misi allowed 74 yards on 49 coverage snaps for an average of 1.59 yards allowed per coverage snap.
• Has played 128 defensive snaps over his last two seasons due to chronic neck problems.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Injuries have derailed the career of one of this generation’s most talented linebackers. Bowman was a phenomenal line-
backer in all phases of the game during his time with the 49ers before injuries began to take their toll, which ultimately
led to the end of his time there. He struggled early in the season for the 49ers, but when he caught on in Oakland was a
markedly better player, ending the year with an overall grade of 84.8. Bowman ranked 11th among all linebackers.
AT A GLANCE:
• Has earned an 80.0-plus overall grade in five of his seven years in the league.
• Recorded 33 run stops this season split between his time in Oakland (10 games) and San Francisco (six games), which
ranked T-No. 7 among all NFL linebackers.
• In Oakland, Bowman allowed just 4.2 yards after the catch per reception, which ranked No. 4 among linebackers.
• Bowman’s 2017 should hold a lot of encouragement for prospective suitors. It was a significant bounce back year.
• Bowman will be 30 when the season starts, but he was one of the game’s best before injuries struck.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Nigel Bradham is coming off one of the better seasons of his career, earning an overall mark of over 80.0 for the second
straight year with the Philadelphia Eagles. Bradham has been a solid linebacker for most of his career, but he timed the
worst season he has produced for his last contract year before hitting free agency. He has been a productive coverage line-
backer even if he didn’t record a single interception in 2017 and has allowed just six touchdowns in his six-year career.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned an 86.9 coverage grade in 2017, which ranked sixth among all NFL linebackers.
• However, he struggled against the run, finishing 66th among qualifying linebackers.
• Ranked No. 1 in yards allowed per coverage snap and coverage snaps per reception.
• Despite his obvious coverage success, Bradham still was targeted 56 times last season, which ranked T-No. 9 among
4-3 outside linebackers.
• Enters free agency at 28 off the back of two of his best seasons, could be an attractive addition for many teams.

2015 1007 1 7 5 0 107 20 13 59 46 57 512 2 3 2
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
The past two years in Jacksonville have marked a dramatic turnaround in Paul Posluszny’s PFF grades, jumping above 80.0
after four consecutive seasons of under 66.0. In 2016, he was an every-down linebacker, but the emergence of Myles Jack
this year has pushed Posluszny into a two-down role for the Jaguars, where he has been very good. At 33 and now a two-
down linebacker, Posluszny won’t be among the most sought after players on the market.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked No. 3 in yards after the catch allowed per reception allowed (3.95).
• Ranked T-No. 4 in total run stops with 16. He also ranked 46th in run-stop percentage (6.7), despite diminished
playing time.
• Ranked 19th among linebackers with 155-plus coverage snaps in yards allowed per coverage snap.
• Was a two-down player in 2017 and is 33 years old. Will likely be a second-wave free agent.

2015 597 2 1 4 0 41 11 5 18 34 45 304 1 1 2
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A fifth-round draft choice of the Detroit Lions back in 2012, Tahir Whitehead enters free agency on the back of his best
season in the NFL, albeit one that hit just 79.6 in overall PFF grade. Whitehead has been a solid run defender, but he con-
sistently struggled in coverage and on passing downs, generally. He can be an explosive run defender and is just 27, but he
needs to prove he can be a viable player on passing downs elsewhere to be a truly desirable free agent.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked eighth among 4-3 outside linebackers with 40-plus pass-rush snaps in pass-rush productivity (12.1).
• Among 4-3 outside linebackers with 111-plus run-defense snaps, Whitehead ranked T-No. 10 in run-stop percentage
(8.7).
• Also ranked No. 2 in total run stops (35) among that same group of linebackers.
• Has graded well against the run in three of the four seasons of significant snaps, with 2016 the lone exception.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Zach Brown is now looking for his fourth team in as many seasons, and his last two seasons have been the biggest in terms
of playing time in his NFL career. He has made a lot of tackles and defensive stops over the past two seasons, grading well
in the run game, but his coverage was a disaster in 2017, and his overall grade slipped to just 61.8 as a result. He flashes the
ability to be a complete player but has rarely put it all together at once.
AT A GLANCE:
• After earning 78.4 and 83.0 overall grades in 2015 and 2016, Brown dropped down to 61.8 overall in 2017.
• Ranked T-35th among linebackers with 155-plus coverage snaps in yards allowed per coverage snap (1.17) in 2017.
• Also ranked 19th in yards allowed after the catch per reception allowed (5.936)
• Ranked T-11th in total run stops (31) and 15th in run-stop percentage among linebackers with at least 116 run-defense
snaps.
• Has the ability to play in all facets, but is coming off the worst season of his career in coverage.

CORNERBACK OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
Cornerback is one of the more interesting position groups in the 2018 free agency class. Headlined by Pa-
triots corner Malcolm Butler, the class features several other players that have shown the ability to be solid
starters, if nobody else that teams would want to be their No. 1 corner next year.
Butler may be best known for his interception to secure Super Bowl XLIX for the Patriots, but he also post-
ed a grade of 88.1 in 2016, showing All-Pro potential before something of a down year as he headed into
free agency. Anybody working from his 2017 tape won’t be throwing money at Butler, but his tape from a
year ago showcased his ability and will likely attract teams given the drop off between him and the next-
best options available.
Outside of Butler, this group lacks top end potential but could provide a quick fix to a team struggling to
find a second or third corner capable of holding up against legitimate NFL receivers.
SIGNATURE STATS:
Coverage
Reputation can scare opponents from challenging certain defenders, or it can put a target on the back
of a cover man. That reputation can be well deserved or the product of unfounded hype. In order to cut
through the noise, you need to see the numbers. This set of Signature Stats tallies all things coverage
related, from snaps spent in coverage to Yards After the Catch on completions aimed at each defender.
The numbers for all linebackers and defensive backs when deemed the primary cover man are here and
they add up to some never-before-seen measures (Yards Per Cover Snap, Cover Snaps Per Target, and
Cover Snaps Per Reception) that will help you sort out who’s getting the job done. To top it all off, as we
did with the WR Rating, we’ve backcalculated the Passer Rating opponents produce when throwing at
each defender..
Slot Performance
For another layer of depth in coverage data, we’ve sorted out the snaps spent covering the slot and
applied the same calculations as we did in the overall coverage section. So, here you’ll find who is
spending the most snaps in that increasingly important nickel corner role as well as the targets they
see and the receptions, yards, YAC, TDs, and INTs they surrender from the slot.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Bashaud Breeland has been a capable starting corner over the past few seasons, but his play has been inconsistent. Bree-
land can play in man and zone coverage schemes, but he is best suited as a complement to a clear No. 1 corner, and his best
play is now a couple of seasons in the past. In 2017, he had a rough start to the year but was significantly better over the
second half of the year, with two strong games and none of the poor ones that he had over the first half.
AT A GLANCE:
• Allowed a 75.5 passer rating when targeted in 2017, which ranked 25th among the 86 cornerbacks with at least 325
coverage snaps.
• Allowed 0.82 yards per coverage snap last season, ranking T-No. 11 among cornerbacks with 325-plus coverage snaps.
• Ranked 17th in coverage snaps per reception (14.3) among cornerbacks with at least 325 coverage snaps in 2017.
• He has speed and versatility to play in any coverage scheme, but he has been at his best playing off coverage in zone
systems.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Brent Grimes has played some of his best football deep into his 30s, with a career year in 2016 and a solid display off the
back of that this past season. His 2017 was more inconsistent than the previous year, but his highs were still excellent
displays of coverage, including limiting Odell Beckham Jr. to just two catches for 10 yards on seven targets back in Week 4.
Grimes is a short-term signing, but he’s a guy who can still play despite his age.
AT A GLANCE:
• Among the 86 cornerbacks with 325-plus coverage snaps in 2017, Grimes ranked 20th in passer rating allowed (73.8).
• Earned an 82.0 overall grade in 2017, which was 8.2 points below his career-high mark (90.2) a year ago.
• Ranked T-48th among qualifying cornerbacks in coverage snaps per reception allowed (10.9) in 2017.
• Grimes is a smaller in stature corner, at his best in zone schemes where he can read the route and play the ball.
• At 34 years of age, he is a short-term signing, but Grimes is a player that can still start and excel in the right scheme.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Byron Maxwell had a wild 2017 season that saw him once again benched in Miami after reports came out that he was ig-
noring coaching instructions in-game when it came to alignment and technique. He then returned to where he started his
career, Seattle. With the injuries to the Seahawks’ secondary, Maxwell ended up starting the final six games of the season
and actually playing relatively well in doing so. Just 29, Maxwell is an intriguing free agent.
AT A GLANCE:
• Of the 424 yards Maxwell allowed in coverage last season, only 12.07% came after the catch, which was the second-
lowest percentage among the 126 cornerbacks with at least 150 coverage snaps in 2017.
• Allowed a 114.2 passer rating when targeted last season, which ranked 117th among the 126 cornerbacks with at least
150 targets.
• Allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 70.59 percent of their passes into his coverage last season.
• Can play both man or zone coverage, but has a ceiling, best limited to life as a No. 2 corner.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
At 33, the best days of Johnathan Joseph’s career are behind him, and he has always been a player that struggles playing
through knocks and injuries. But even in 2017, he was passable in a Houston defense that dealt with a multitude of inju-
ries. Joseph can play in any scheme, but he is now two years removed from any very strong play and may have to wait until
late in free agency to catch on with a new team where he can provide cover or emergency stop-gap play.
AT A GLANCE:
• Allowed a 99.1 passer rating when targeted in 2017, which ranked 88th among 126 cornerbacks with 150-plus snaps.
• Ranked T-105th in yards allowed per coverage snap (1.45) among qualifying cornerbacks in 2017.
• Ranked T-No. 103 in run-stop percentage among the 113 cornerbacks with at least 111 run-defense snaps in 2017.
• Capable in both man and zone coverage, but past his prime and no longer able to live with elite receivers.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A career of continued growth peaked last season with a 84.3 overall grade for Fuller, good for 22nd in the league. He
bounced back from missing all of 2016 due to injury to play the best football of his career while showing off excellent ball
skills. If teams believe in Fuller’s career trend that has seen drastic improvement, he’ll be one of the most coveted corner-
backs on the market.
AT A GLANCE:
• Allowed a completion percentage of only 51.3 percent into his coverage, 17th-best last season.
• Led the league with 17 pass breakups in 2017, 10 more than he accumulated in his first two years
• Tackling has been an issue; missed 22 in 2017 and has missed 43 on 219 attempts in his career.

there’s more good than bad to Butler’s game, and he has experience playing man coverage against some of the league’s best
route runners while playing in New England’s multiple defensive scheme.
AT A GLANCE:
• Had seventh-best grade among cornerbacks in 2016 and ranked 13th-best in 2015.
• Excellent ball skills; ranked fourth in pass breakups in both 2015 and 2016 while ranking 13th in 2017.
• Some boom or bust to his game, has allowed a passer rating of 91.9 and 21 touchdowns in his four years including the
playoffs.
• Has experience shadowing some of the league’s best route runners in man coverage.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Outside of a career 2016 season, Claiborne has disappointed after being drafted at No. 6 overall by the Dallas Cowboys in
2012. The 2016 season sticks out as more of an anomaly, as he allowed a passer rating of 63.0 and 8.9 yards per reception
compared to a career 95.5 passer rating allowed and 13.2 yards per reception. The hope at this point is that he can rekindle
some of that 2016 magic, something he was unable to do last season with the Jets.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned a 48.5 overall grade in 2017, marking the fourth time in the last five years he’s finished a season with an
overall grade below 50.0.
• Tied for 50th in yards allowed per coverage snap (1.05) among the 126 cornerbacks with at least 150 coverage snaps
last season.
• Has missed only 30 of 233 tackle attempts in his career.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Robey-Coleman’s career got off to a promising start as a rookie in 2013, but he followed up with two subpar seasons before
bouncing back with productive years in 2016 and 2017. Overall, he’s been an effective slot corner, and he played a ca-
reer-high 184 snaps on the outside last season, adding even more versatility to his game. He’ll make an attractive option
for a team looking to add a slot corner who can play on the outside in a pinch.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned a career-high 84.9 overall grade in 2017, good for the 19th-best mark among qualifying cornerbacks.
• Allowed only 0.80 yards per cover snap in the slot in 2017, fifth-best in the league.
• Allowed a 77.5 passer rating into his coverage last season, which ranked 40th among cornerbacks with 150-plus
coverage snaps.
• Has only missed 12 tackles over the last three years after missing 23 tackles over his first two seasons.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
After years of uneven play, Robinson broke out to post the best grade of his career in 2017 at 90.7 overall. His previous ca-
reer-high was a 79.6 grade in 2011, so it’s fair to question whether 2017 was simply an anomaly. Regardless, Robinson does
most of his work in the slot, but he can dabble on the outside if necessary. If he can duplicate his 2017 success, Robinson is
one of the better corners on the market, but an inconsistent career still casts some doubts.
AT A GLANCE:
• Playing 363 slot coverage snaps in 2017, Robinson ranked fifth in passer rating allowed from the slot (65.2) among
qualifying cornerbacks last season.
• Robinson ranked 11th in coverage snaps per reception allowed (12.1) among qualifiers in 2017.
• Tied for 21st in run-stop percentage (2.9) among qualifying cornerbacks last season.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Prince Amukamara is a solid player who seems to find teams too focused on his negatives to appreciate his positives. At
29 years old, he still has years left in the tank and has been a consistently above average cover corner over the years, but he
will never be a superstar and will give up some plays. Injuries have been an issue, and he has relatively weak ball skills, but
for a team in need of corner depth, he could be a valuable addition.
AT A GLANCE:
• Earned a career-high 81.2 overall grade in 2017.
• Ranked T-78th among qualifying cornerbacks in run-stop percentage (1.2) in 2017.
• Ranked T-11th in yards allowed per coverage snap (0.78) among cornerbacks with 150-plus coverage snaps.
• Only 24.7 percent of the yards Amukamara allowed in coverage came after the catch last season, which ranked 23rd
among the 126 cornerbacks with 150-plus coverage snaps in 2017.
• Is at his best playing man coverage, but has the skills to play in any scheme. Solid depth player.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Rashaan Melvin is one of the more interesting prospective free agents out there. Just 28, Melvin had a career year that
came from nowhere in 2017 but was injured and shut down before he could play more than 552 total snaps. Melvin has
only seen significant snaps over the past two seasons, and 2017 was by far his best performance. His tape becomes a very
limited sample size, but one which has to intrigue teams when teamed with his size and athleticism.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked 12th in passer rating allowed (60.3) among the 126 cornerbacks with at least 150 coverage snaps.
• Earned a career-high 85.7 overall grade in 2017, an 11.5-point increase from last season.
• Ranked 20th in run-stop percentage (3.0) among the 108 cornerbacks with 111-plus run-defense snaps in 2017.
• Has the size and speed that teams look for in today’s NFL and excelled in man coverage in 2017.
• Has just one half-season of high-level NFL play, which makes evaluation a challenge, but that play was excellent.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Terence Newman will be 40 years old by the start of the 2018 season, yet somehow he is still playing solid football. He has
played outside and in the slot for the Vikings in the past few years but has moved down the depth chart from starter to
nickel corner. He can still more than hold his own as a sub-package player in any scheme. Whether he has the desire to
start again somewhere else for a short-term contract remains to be seen, but Newman could help a lot of teams out.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked T-15th in yards allowed per coverage snap (0.82) among 126 cornerbacks with at least 150 coverage snaps.
• Ranked T-36th in passer rating allowed (76.7) among qualifying cornerbacks in 2017.
• Ranked T-No. 14 in coverage snaps per reception allowed among the 55 cornerbacks with at least 110 coverage snaps

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
In 2017, Tramon Williams resurrected himself after an unsuccessful stint in Cleveland that saw him post the lowest grade
of his career at 50.6 overall. Williams was signed by the Arizona Cardinals before the season to compete opposite star cor-
ner Patrick Peterson and finally shore up that position, which he achieved successfully. Though he didn’t start until Week
7, his coverage was excellent when he was on the field, and he earned the highest overall PFF grade of his career.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked ninth in passer rating allowed (58.4) among the 126 cornerbacks with 150-plus coverage snaps last season.
• Ranked T-25th in coverage snaps per reception allowed (13.2) among qualifying cornerbacks last season.
• Earned an 88.8 overall grade in 2017, the highest mark of his 11-year NFL career.
• 34 years old, but coming off the best year in coverage he has had in a long time, maybe of his career.
• Still capable of starting and playing in both man and zone coverage, but likely only a short-term option.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Bryce Callahan has been a significant member of the Chicago rotation in the secondary for three seasons, but he is coming
off by far his best year. Callahan won’t turn 27 until late October, so he is set to become a restricted free agent in his prime
but has little in the way of consistent high-level play to his name over his career. Callahan has played both outside corner
and in the slot for Chicago within their zone defense and has several strong games in 2017.

• Ranked 41st in passer rating allowed (78.4) among cornerbacks with 150-plus coverage snaps last season.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Delvin Breaux is one of the more unique stories in this year’s free agency crop. A top high school prospect, he fractured
multiple vertebrae, which derailed his career and sent him on unconventional football peregrinations taking in the
Gridiron Developmental Football League, the Arena League and finally Canada before landing with the Saints. He had an
enigmatic 2015 season, allowing 10 touchdowns but also fewer than 50 percent of passes to be caught.
AT A GLANCE:
• In 2016, Breaux ranked 81st in passer rating allowed (101.0) among 118 cornerbacks.
• Ranked 81st in yards allowed per coverage snap (1.39) in 2016 but 21st in 2015 (1.05).
• Earned an 85.0 overall grade in 2015, but a 39.1 overall grade in 2016 and missed the entire 2017 season injured.
• Breaux has exceptional length, physicality and ball skills, but has major durability concerns.
• His NFL tape is effectively just one season of quality tape in 2015, leading to sample size concerns as well as how long
ago that was.

SAFETY OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW:
The safety class has a healthy dose of veteran presences and a few up-and-comers, but the resounding
theme is that there are plenty of solid safeties capable of providing good production in a specific role. This
class has a few solid run-stoppers at the position, but a pass-first NFL makes that less of a commodity than
it was as recently as 10 years ago. That mentality opens things up for the versatile coverage players such
as Lamarcus Joyner (Rams), Eric Reid (49ers) and Bradley McDougald (Seahawks), who are all capable of
contributing in different capacities. There isn’t a monster name on the market, but the class is filled with
mid-tier safeties with either starting ability or a skill set capable of adding important depth to the right
secondary around the league.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Generally sitting right around average in PFF safety grades, that’s right where McDougald landed last year with a 77.3
grade that ranked 47th. He’ll have his fair share of splash plays, as he’s broken up 16 passes to go with five interceptions in
his four years, but he must improve as a tackler and cut down on the big plays that he surrenders. McDougald is at his best
either closer to the line of scrimmage or as part of a split-safety look on the back end.
AT A GLANCE:
• Has missed 47 tackles in his career on 331 attempts. 2017 was the first year of McDougald’s career with fewer than 10
misses.
• Tied for 13th among safeties with a run-stop percentage of 7.7 when lined up within eight yards of the line of
scrimmage. Tied for seventh overall with a run-stop percentage of 6.2.
• Can match up with bigger tight ends one-on-one.
• Did a fine job transitioning from a split-safety role to Seattle’s strong safety role in 2017.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Graham has been incredibly consistent since 2012, posting grades between 74.4 and 84.3 in each of those years. He was a
cornerback in his early days, but he’s made a smooth transition to safety, where he’s done most of his work closer to the
line of scrimmage while covering receivers in his familiar slot role. Graham was a role player in 2017, and that may be his
best bet moving forward as an added depth piece in a secondary.
AT A GLANCE:
• For his career, he has 42 pass breakups and 19 interceptions while allowing 28 touchdowns into his coverage.
• In his two full seasons at safety, Graham ranked 28th overall in 2015 and 40th overall in 2016.
• Played 183 of 390 snaps at free safety last season (47. percent).
• Used mostly in coverage in 2017, only 22.3 percent of Graham’s snaps came against the run.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A transition to safety saw Butler rank 31st in 2016, but he took a step back last year with a 55.2 overall grade while ranking
68th among safeties. The former cornerback has put together a few solid seasons throughout his career, and this was the
first season he was used almost exclusively at free safety rather in than in the slot. At his best, Butler is a solid slot corner
with some versatility to move around on the back end.
AT A GLANCE:
• In 2016, allowed 1.03 yards per cover snap in the slot, 20th-best in the NFL.
• Tackling has been an issue for two straight years, as Butler has missed 16 of his 84 attempts.
• Struggled when matching up against tight ends last season.
• Allowed 7.1 yards after the catch per reception on passes into his coverage last season, 69th-best among safeties.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
While he hasn’t really lived up to his first-round status, Reid has had a solid career, grading between 72.6 and 81.4 in all but
one of his five years in the league. He had an up-and-down season last year as he transitioned to more of a linebacker role
in the 49ers’ scheme, but he finished strong and posted the top grade of his career at 81.4. He has experience playing multi-
ple roles and that will likely land him a long-term deal as he heads into his 26-year old season.
AT A GLANCE:
• Tied for 27th in total run-stop percentage at 4.6.
• Played 78.7 percent of his run-defense snaps within eight yards of the LOS, the 14th-highest percentage among
safeties
• Has 10 interceptions, 12 pass breakups and 13 touchdowns allowed into his coverage in his career.

PLAYER OVERVIEW:
A 2013 first-round pick, Vaccaro has had his moments during his career, but he’s never truly found a role in coverage to jus-
tify the high selection. He’s excellent against the run, ranking among the top-10 safeties three times in his career, but he’ll
struggle against tight ends in coverage. In 2017, he had his issues when taking on receivers in more of a slot role. Vaccaro
can fill a role as an early-down run defender, but his third-down value remains a question mark.

2015 749 65 14 11 25 50 50 69.4% 472 1 0 5 91.9
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Joyner has improved every year of his career and he has the grades to prove it, and his transition to safety was a success-
ful one as he ranked third among safeties at 90.1 overall. His first three years were spent mostly covering the slot, but he
took to his safety role, doing a fine job of making plays on the ball and generally being in good position to avoid big plays.
Joyner’s versatility makes him more attractive, but 2017 may have proven his best fit is at free safety.
AT A GLANCE:
• Tied career-high with five pass breakups and picked up first three interceptions of his career in 2017.
• Only missed four tackles last season after missing 23 over his first three seasons.
• Ranked second among safeties with a 92.7 coverage grade in 2017.
• Did a fine job breaking on the ball from both single-high and split-safety looks last season.

2015 1068 70 18 5 14 30 30 66.7% 291 1 3 1 64.2
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
After a slow start his first two years, Gilchrist has settled in as a mid-tier safety over the last five years. He’s been better
against the run than in coverage, but he’s improved in that area in recent years, and he’s been a dependable player in mul-
tiple stops. He’s played at least 800 snaps in each of the last five years, so there may be a starting gig out there for Gilchrist
who is otherwise an excellent option as a depth player.
AT A GLANCE:
• Run-stop percentage of 1.0 ranked 74th among safeties last season despite playing over 60 percent of his snaps
within eight yards of the line of scrimmage.
• Graded at 77.2 overall in 2017, marking four of five straight seasons with an overall grade of 70.0-plus.
• Has 11 interceptions, 12 pass breakups, and 19 touchdowns allowed in his seven-year career.

2015 699 54 12 6 22 9 9 50.0% 109 1 0 4 87.5
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Burnett has had a solid career for the Packers, and his recent seasons have been defined by him being one of the better
run-stopping safeties in the league. He’s coming off his lowest-graded season since 2013 and the third-lowest of his career,
but there’s still something left in the tank in the right role. At his best, Burnett can be a force around the line of scrimmage
as a run defender, but it’s fair to question if he needs to be protected in coverage to get the most out of his game.
AT A GLANCE:
• Tied a career-high with five touchdowns allowed into his coverage in 2017.
• Sure tackler has missed only 62 of his 764 career attempts and he’s only had two seasons with at least double-digit
missed tackles (2012 and 2013).
• Posted the top grade against the run in 2014 (92.4) and ranked fifth in 2015 (87.5).
• Coverage grade has fluctuated in recent years, but can get lost in zone coverage, whether playing in the box or on the
back end.

2015 1071 58 9 8 18 16 16 50.0% 283 2 8 5 61.8
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
Normally dependable as a back-end coverage defender, 2017 saw Nelson post his worst coverage grade since 2010. Despite
a few splash plays toward the end of the year, Nelson doesn’t hold up well in man coverage against tight ends, and he’s at
his best in more of a pure free safety role. As he heads into Year 12 of his career, Nelson’s margin of error gets smaller every
season, but he still has something to offer at free safety.
AT A GLANCE:
• Overall grade of 75.3 was lowest since 2010.
• Has good ball skills on the back end and had 36 interceptions and 39 pass breakups in his career.
• Played 70.9 percent of his run-defense snaps within eight yards of the line of scrimmage last season.
• Ranked among the top-30 safeties in coverage in every season between 2012 and 2015.

2015 720 50 7 11 21 20 20 58.8% 186 1 0 2 83.7
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
There was a point in Ward’s career where he was the league’s best run-stopping safety, finishing with the No. 2 grade
against the run in 2011, first in 2012, and second in 2013. He was still excellent in the run game during his three years in
Denver, but he’s posted the lowest grades of his career over the last two seasons. Ward still has something left as a box safe-
ty, though that’s a role that has diminished in value over the last few years.
AT A GLANCE:
• Ranked 11th in run-stop percentage at 5.7 last season.
• Played 80.3 percent of his run-defense snaps within eight yards of the line of scrimmage in 2017.
• Has only graded below 80.0 in the run game one time in his career (2016).

2015 436 31 5 2 14 18 18 56.3% 198 2 1 1 82.6
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
After showing great promise as a versatile safety early in his career, Branch has battled injuries and still hasn’t put togeth-
er a full season since 2012. Last season, he was outstanding before tearing his ACL in Week 10, and another injury-riddled
season raises even more durability concerns despite his impressive overall effort last season. He’s a one-year guy at this
point, assuming he can bounce back from yet another injury.
AT A GLANCE:
• Excellent tackler, has missed only 45 tackles on 614 attempts.
• Allowed a career-low 7.4 yards per reception into his coverage last season and ranked sixth among safeties in YAC
allowed per reception (3.0).
• Tied for third among safeties with a run-stop percentage of 6.6.
• Good quickness allows him to stick with tight ends in man coverage.

2015 436 31 5 2 14 18 18 56.3% 198 2 1 1 82.6
PLAYER OVERVIEW:
One of the more underrated players in the league, Allen has played well at free safety in Atlanta’s single-high scheme. He’s
not as flashy as your prototypical single-high free safeties like Earl Thomas, but he’s dependable and also capable of mak-
ing plays when lined up as more of a strong safety. As much of the NFL looks to duplicate Seattle’s scheme that requires a
true free safety, Allen may find a good market for his services after three strong years with Atlanta.
AT A GLANCE:
• Graded between 74.3 and 81.7 in each of his three years of action, including the playoffs (did not play any snaps as a
rookie in 2014).
• Has missed 30 tackles on 228 career attempts.
• Closes on the ball well, whether playing deep third or underneath coverage.
• Has eight interceptions and four pass breakups in his career, including the playoffs.
