    two numbers on this list which tell me the whole chart isn’t worth the paper it’s on. Oscar Delp is rated lower than Jake pope.

    this list is worthless without knowing what the numerical grading scale is

    no clue what the grading scale relates to which makes it worthless without context.

    I believe PFF is a metric to estimate performance relative to professional athletes. Basically 80-90s indicates “relatively or definitely pro ready”. To aggregate the score every single play is evaluated. Each play can be a minus two pt or plus two pt to the score and it sort of averages from there. For example a +2 would be something like Stetsons crazy scramble then throw to Ladd for a TD against Oregon a few years back. A -2 would be something like an across the body throw into triple coverage for an INT. And plays are measured in 0.5 increments. I do believe assumptions about the players pro readiness are made to determine a starting score; but could be wrong. It’s an interesting but in some ways useless metric as the graders don’t know the exact responsibility of every player on every play - making some positions more difficult then others to evaluate/grade.

    Bizarre readings up and down the board. How do you make a comparative analysis with this scheme?

    On a side note—I haven't heard this before, but I feel like Etienne cost himself a lot of dough by declaring when he did—especially with the downgrading of the RB position in regards to the NFL..(Or should I say NFL1?)
