For those of us that need a PFF Scoring breakdown: Used Keionte Scott as an example
Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades provide a detailed breakdown of a player's performance by evaluating every snap, assigning a grade from -2 to +2 (in half-point increments) based on how they performed relative to expectations. These raw grades are then converted to a 0-100 scale, where 60 is considered average, 70-80 is good to great, and 90+ is elite.
Here's a breakdown of Keionte Scott's PFF grades and statistics:
Advanced statistics explained
In summary, Keionte Scott displayed strong performance in defending against both the run and pass based on his overall, coverage, and run grades. His advanced coverage stats also highlight his ability to force incompletions and limit receptions against him, contributing to a very low opposing passer rating. However, his tackling efficiency was a major weakness, indicated by his low tackle grade and 100% missed tackle rate in the given sample.

Here's a breakdown of Keionte Scott's PFF grades and statistics:
Statistic | Value | Explanation |
Snaps | 59 | The total number of plays Keionte Scott was on the field. |
Overall Grade | 71.8 | This is a holistic measure of Scott's performance, considering all aspects of his play. A grade of 71.8 indicates an above-average performance. |
Coverage Grade | 67.6 | This grade reflects Scott's effectiveness in pass coverage, including how well he covers receivers, his ability to break up passes, and his tackling at the catch point or after the catch. |
Run Grade | 73.6 | This assesses Scott's performance against the run, including his ability to disrupt and finish plays, maintain gap control, and avoid missed tackles. |
Tackle Grade | 28.5 | This low grade indicates significant struggles in tackling efficiency, likely reflecting a tendency to miss tackles. PFF also grades tackling based on the situation and how impactful it is for the defense. |
Statistic | Value | Explanation |
Run Stop % | 4.5% | This measures how often Scott made a "stop" on a running play. A stop is defined as a tackle that prevents an offensive success (e.g., gains less than 40% of the required yardage on first down). This percentage indicates he made a stop on 4.5% of running plays where he was involved. |
Targets | 6 | The number of times Scott was the primary coverage defender on a pass play where a receiver was targeted. |
Rec % | 16.7% | Short for "Reception Percentage," this indicates that opposing receivers caught the ball on 16.7% of the plays when Scott was targeted as the primary coverage defender. This is a very low percentage, which suggests excellent coverage or poor throws by the opposing quarterback. |
Y/Rec | 12 | Stands for "Yards per Reception" and refers to the average number of yards gained by the opposing receiver when they caught a pass on Scott. |
Forced Incomplete % | 17% | The percentage of targeted passes where Scott was able to force an incompletion, either by breaking up the pass or being in tight coverage. |
PBU | 1 | Pass Breakup, meaning Scott successfully prevented a completion on one occasion by getting his hands on the ball. |
Pass Rating | 39.6 | This is the opposing quarterback's passer rating when targeting receivers covered by Scott. A lower passer rating indicates better coverage. A rating of 39.6 is very good for a defender. |
Snaps/Target | 4.8 | This indicates that Scott was targeted, on average, once every 4.8 snaps he played. |
Snaps/Reception | 29.0 | This indicates that a reception was made against Scott, on average, once every 29 snaps he played. |
Miss Tackle % | 100% | This indicates Scott missed 100% of his attempted tackles on the plays reviewed. This is a significant area of concern based on these statistics. |
