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

A couple of weeks ago, we introduced 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 seven weeks of action.
