Pass Rushing Productivity: The Story So Far


Can you believe five weeks of the season have already gone already?

Well to celebrate a fantastic start to the season I’m going to give you a sneak peek at what is available with the PFF Premium Package, and break down the first ever sig stat: Pass Rushing Productivity. So we’ll be looking at every defensive player who has rushed the passer at least 100 times and putting their pressure numbers through the PRP formula.

That means adding up all a players sack, hits and hurries (with hits and hurries valued at three quarters that of a sack), dividing that number by the number of pass rushes and job done.

Now, the numbers.

Mighty Miller

If you’ve been on Pro Football Focus once or twice over the past year you’ll know we’ve developed a pretty high opinion of the play of Von Miller. As a rookie he was sensational, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down in his sophomore season. He leads our Pass Rushing Productivity stat after registering a pressure on 21.4% of all his pass rushes. He may not lead the league in sacks but there isn’t a player out there impacting quarterbacks as much as the Bronco.
