While initial severity for a concussion is often misleading, getting taken out on a stretcher means teams will be more careful. But even with that, a third of guys still come back without missing a game! Also, there’s a little evidence that coaches and QBs try to get the ball out faster on return.

The evidence isn't definitive, but public defensive metrics (in this case DRS and FRV) having more similar and detailed components does seem to be improving alignment on the value of players. That's happening even without strong alignment on the different component calculations themselves.

One of our goals for this year is to get more research out there, specifically with our injury data. In this case: Pitchers don't really show less pain when they're hit by a batted ball, but they're potentially justified in it because the coaching staff has a quick trigger for checking on them.

Guess I know who I'm rooting for in Celebrity Jeopardy! The site also updates in a few ways during the draft. I love the Draft Matrix that lays out the distribution of talent at all positions according to our scouts. You can see here the remaining players we tabbed with strong starting grades.
A view of the SIS Draft Matrix, which shows players graded at a 6.7 (strong starter) grade who have yet to be selected through Round 1. Eight players at five positions are listed. DTs McDonald and Hunter, LB Allen, CBs Hood and Terrell, S McNeil-Warren, and WRs Boston and Brazzell II.

As much as I am a stats guy and built much of the backbone of the analytics on this site, this is definitely my favorite part of our draft site. It gives you a texture for the player pool at a glance and gets us thinking more in terms of tiers than ranks.

Every year our Total Points player value system seems to decide on its "guy" that is rated surprisingly well. Bo Nix was its guy in 2024, ranking 6th in passing. Through W9, he was 31st in EPA and 3rd in Total Points. After W9, he was 2nd in EPA and 15th in Total Points. Weird year.

Jeanty's overall projection is better than other players who have had similar profiles in terms of where they run and how they elude tackles. That said, those similar players from the last five drafts have tended to underperform. Also added some other names to watch based on their profiles.

The Chiefs are the best team in the NFL at converting 3rd-and- '4 to 7' yards to go into first downs (doing so on either 3rd or 4th down) In these 3rd-and-medium situations, they do a designed run 1% of the time. The other 99% is Patrick Mahomes passing or scrambling.
