The read

Harrison grades below average among kickers so far, with no number far from the middle.

Lately he is playing better. EPA per kickoff is −0.32 over the last 2 games (10 kickoffs), against −0.51 before that. A few plays could easily explain this. Worth watching, not worth believing yet.

Written from his numbers, not from film. 4 games are behind the season figures.

How he stacks up

Left is the worst at his job, right is the best, and the line down the middle is average. The bubble is his percentile: 90 means better than nine in ten qualifying kickers. Faded bars are still small samples.

How he has progressed

Where he has ranked among kickers after each week, and every game behind it.

WorstMiddleBestrecent12345Week 3: 21st percentileWeek 4: 7th percentile7th

Season rank slipped: 21st to 7th percentile since Wk 3.

The line is his season-to-date rank among players at his position after each week, from 100 (the best) to 0 (the worst). It rises when he passes other players, not when he has one big game. Early weeks are noisier because fewer plays are behind them. The shaded weeks are the recent stretch.

One game is a small sample: a single stat over 2 tries can swing on a handful of plays. Shaded rows are the recent stretch.

The numbers, in context

Each one against every kicker with at least 6 field goal tries. Right on the strip is better.

Field goals over expected

Among the weakest

−17.8 pts

30th of 31 kickers · bottom 7%

His field goal percentage compared with what the distances he kicked from predict. +10 means he makes 10 more of every 100 kicks than an average kicker from those same spots.

The box score: Field goal percentage rewards the kicker whose coach only sends him out from 30 yards.

Does it show up in winning? Across 52 games league-wide, teams won 59% of the time when their kicker was in the best third on field goals over expected, and 44% when he was in the worst third.

EPA per kickoff

Well below typical

−0.39

26th of 33 kickers · bottom 25%

Expected points added: how many points the play added to (or took from) the offense's scoring chances, given the down, the distance and the field position. Measured from the kicking team's side, so a higher number means his kickoffs leave the opponent with a worse start.

The box score: Touchbacks are counted, but not what the kick was worth.

Does it show up in winning? Across 79 games league-wide, a good or bad game on EPA per kickoff from a kicker has not lined up much with his team winning (64% wins in the best third, 65% in the worst).

How he plays

Tendencies: how his game differs from the kickers around him. These are not better or worse, only different, and often say as much about the offense or defense he plays in as about him.

Players with a similar profile

The kickers whose grades are closest to his across the same stats. Similar means similar numbers, not the same style of play.

Ranks are among players at the same job who have enough plays to be graded. Grades and rankings come from play-by-play, charting and snap-count data, so they cannot see blocking, route running or assignments. See how the grades work.
