Methodology

What are Impact Ratings?

These ratings are my attempt to assign a single numerical value to each player’s performance in the NFL, using the metrics listed in each position’s formula.

The grading scale is 0 to 100, with 100 being the highest possible score and 0 the lowest. Obviously the ratings aren’t perfect, but I feel I can get a good evaluation from these numbers.
