numeric |
Average air yards on completed passes |
| avg_intended_air_yards |
numeric |
Average air yards on all attempted passes |
| avg_air_yards_differential |
numeric |
Air Yards Differential is calculated by subtracting the
passer’s average Intended Air Yards from his average Completed Air
Yards. This stat indicates if he is on average attempting deep passes
than he on average completes. |
| aggressiveness |
numeric |
Aggressiveness tracks the amount of passing attempts a
quarterback makes that are into tight coverage, where there is a
defender within 1 yard or less of the receiver at the time of completion

all passing attempts. |
| max_completed_air_distance |

Air Distance is the amount of yards the ball has
traveled on a pass, from the point of release to the point of reception
(as the crow flies). Unlike Air Yards, Air Distance measures the actual
distance the passer throws the ball. |
| avg_air_yards_to_sticks |
numeric |
Air Yards to the Sticks shows the amount of Air Yards
ahead or behind the first down marker on all attempts for a passer. The
metric indicates if the passer is attempting his passes past the 1st
down marker, or if he is relying on his skill position players to make
yards after catch. |

targets. |
| avg_separation |
numeric |
The distance (in yards) measured between a WR/TE and
the nearest defender at the time of catch or incompletion. |
| percent_share_of_intended_air_yards |
numeric |
The sum of the receivers total intended air yards (all
attempts) over the sum of his team’s total intended air yards.
Represented as a percentage, this statistic represents how much of a
team’s deep yards does the player account for. |

| avg_yac_above_expectation |
numeric |
A receiver’s YAC compared to their Expected YAC. |
| efficiency |
numeric |
Rushing efficiency is calculated by taking the total
distance a player traveled on rushing plays as a ball carrier according
to Next Gen Stats (measured in yards) per rushing yards gained. The
lower the number, the more of a North/South runner. |
| percent_attempts_gte_eight_defenders |
numeric |
On every play, Next Gen Stats calculates how many
defenders are stacked in the box at snap. Using that logic, DIB%
calculates how often does a rusher see 8 or more defenders in the box
against them. |
| avg_time_to_los |
numeric |
Next Gen Stats measures the amount of time a ball
carrier spends (measured to the 10th of a second) before crossing the
