How PFF grades all positions

They go back and view each play. Check to see if a WR was open or not, did the player get killed after catching the ball, ball placement, velocity etc. Each little positive check eventually changes it to a +2 and negative checks lower it, ie INT's Sacks etc.

It is a fairly complicated system, but I'm not sold on it being the ULTIMATE guide. Take it for what it is, just another way to generate stats and see if a player is good or not in a certain scheme.

They aren't perfect nothing is but they are former players and coaches breaking down tape that is why PFF is the number 1 football reference and credited by every media outlet as such.
