Notable in 2026
His biggest gaps between one situation and the rest of his plays, beyond the league's own gap there (|z| ≥ 2.5). Many splits get checked, so some of these are luck; the badge says whether that kind of split repeats year to year.
- -1.41 EPA/target against a four-man rush vs +0.22 the rest of the time (13 vs 21; league gap +0.01; z -3.0) mostly noise · r 0.12
- +0.24 EPA/target when blitzed vs -1.33 otherwise (20 vs 14; league gap -0.00; z +2.9) mostly noise · r 0.08
Every split
EPA per designed run by situation, next to the league. Rank is among qualified players with 20+ designed runs there (1 = best). "Repeats" is the year-to-year correlation for that split (2016–25); near zero means it predicts little. Click a situation to filter to it.
