It’s never too early to start preparing for next season, and for PFF, that means looking at ways to improve PFF Premium Stats. And one way we’re looking to enhance the experience is by introducing more data into the mix.

This week, we're introducing a metric called “bull-rush win rate” which looks at how often a pass rusher beats his blocker when using a bull rush.

Here is how the league's pass rushers fared through three weeks of action:
