His role

Share of his team's snaps
+12points of snap shareHe was playing more by the end of the season.

83% of his team's offensive snaps across his first 14 games of 2023, 95% across the last 3 — and 6.5 touches or attempts a game against 7.0.

Snap share is the coaching staff's own weekly statement about his job, and it moves before the points do. It cannot say why — injury, benching and game script all look identical here.

Below 1 was a hard schedule, above 1 an easy one, and it differs by stat. Rated on 17 of 17 regular-season games in 2023; the rest are left unadjusted rather than dropped. Playoff games are not included, because what a defence allows is measured over the league season.
