Yards per route run remains one of PFF's most predictive receiving metrics, measuring how efficiently a wide receiver produces every time they run a route rather than simply rewarding volume. The 2025 NFL season was led by Puka Nacua, who paced all qualifying receivers with 3.57 yards per route run while also leading the league in receiving grade, targets and receiving yards.

The NFL's biggest quarterback improvements and regressions from 2024 to 2025 are reflected in PFF passing grades and the advanced metrics behind them. Matthew Stafford headlines the list of risers after improving to a league-best 91.7 passing grade behind an elite big-time throw rate.

Performance on zero-graded throws offers a unique way to evaluate quarterback play by isolating routine execution from extraordinary plays. Using two decades of PFF grading data, this analysis examines more than 221,000 zero-graded pass attempts to measure how quarterbacks and offensive systems perform when simply executing what's expected.

The 2026 PFF QB Annual delivers a comprehensive breakdown of every qualifying NFL quarterback using PFF grades, advanced charting and predictive metrics that extend far beyond traditional statistics. Among the biggest findings, Matthew Stafford earned the league's highest passing grade, Joe Burrow posted historically elite ball security despite playing only eight games, and Patrick Mahomes experienced a significant decline in structured passing efficiency.

Available exclusively to PFF+ subscribers, the 2026 PFF QB Annual is the premier destination for quarterback analysis, bringing together PFF grades, proprietary charting, advanced metrics and interactive visualizations into a complete evaluation of every qualifying NFL quarterback from the 2025 season.

Dak Prescott led the NFL in clutch quarterback play during the 2025 season, earning an 87.8 PFF passing grade while producing nine big-time throws against just four turnover-worthy plays in high-leverage situations.

Quarterbacks under pressure remain one of the NFL's most fascinating evaluation points, and the latest PFF QB Annual data highlights which passers experienced the largest performance drop from clean pockets to pressured situations.

In one of the most stunning blockbuster transactions in modern NFL history, the Los Angeles Rams are finalizing a trade to acquire two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett from the Cleveland Browns. PFF advanced stats and charting histories break down the massive implications of the deal, which sends standout young edge rusher Jared Verse and a 2027 first-round draft pick to Cleveland.

While raw box score numbers often define early offseason quarterback evaluations, PFF advanced stats uncover hidden turnover variance set to shift the 2026 landscape. By isolating interceptable throw rates from pure circumstantial luck, this analytical study projects eight quarterbacks bound for higher interception totals in 2026.

Traditional box scores treat interceptions as a definitive metric for quarterback performance, but a decade of PFF tracking reveals that nearly one-third of all picks stem from pure bad luck. By isolating proprietary turnover-worthy play data from defensive drops and receiver deflections, this deep dive quantifies net interception luck across the NFL.

Using PFF WAR-based models and multiple trade value charts, we break down every Round 1 deal from the 2026 NFL Draft to determine which teams truly gained value.

The framework for the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh (April 23–25) is officially set. Following the blockbuster trade on April 18, 2026, that sent Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals, the New York Giants now control two top-10 selections (No. 5 and No. 10), fundamentally altering the first-round landscape.

Pressure isn’t just an offensive line stat. Using PFF Premium Stats, we examine how much of it top 2026 quarterbacks create themselves — and what it means for their NFL projection.

The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine sets the stage for the draft — and PFF has every tool you need to track it. With a customizable Big Board, unlimited Mock Draft Simulator reps, a new Scouting Assistant and a live results tracker, you don't need to go anywhere else.

Built on the same principles as true pass sets, these plays filter out screens, play-action passes, rollouts and other schemed advantages, while focusing on standard dropbacks with legitimate pass-rush opportunities. The goal is simple: isolate a defender’s ability to win in obvious passing situations.

Using PFF’s most stable pass-protection metric, we break down the offensive tackles who performed best in true pass sets — the situations that matter most when projecting NFL pass blockers.

As teams gear up for the offseason, here’s how all 32 NFL teams currently stand in terms of cap space.

Five early takeaways from a Super Bowl shaped by Seattle’s pass rush, New England’s lack of offensive answers and a few standout individual efforts.

The Seattle Seahawks delivered a dominant defensive performance in Super Bowl 60, overwhelming New England quarterback Drake Maye with a Super Bowl-record seven sacks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Seattle’s defense also forced two interceptions and a fumble, while kicker Jason Myers accounted for 15 points with a Super Bowl-record five field goals. The Seahawks pulled away for a 29-13 victory, controlling the game with constant pressure and steady scoring.

Across our Super Bowl coverage, we break down how early-game efficiency, player usage, matchup context and pricing come together to shape each market — from first touchdown scorers to passing, rushing and receiving props — using the same predictive models and premium data that power PFF’s betting ecosystem.
