Metric 04
O-Line Unit Index
2024 · pass protection + run blocking, from free data.No free source grades individual linemen — that's PFF's moat — so this grades the unit. Pass protection is the pressure rate allowed, adjusted for how long the QB holds the ball (a line that keeps pressure low while its QB sits in the pocket is doing more work). Run blocking is yards before contact per carry. The score is the sum of the two standardized across the league; positive is above average.

“Pass-pro vs expected” is the residual of pressure allowed regressed on pocket time: negative (green) means less pressure than the hold time predicts — the line outperforming. Unit-level only; not an individual grade.
