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 potential option is to add more data. Last week, we introduced a new data point: separation percentage. This week, we’re diving deeper into separation percentage for receivers to see who’s creating space and making an impact downfield.
What is Separation Percentage?
Separation percentage measures how often a receiver beats the coverage to get open rather than benefiting from a defense more focused on limiting yards after the catch or stopping them short of the first down.
