2021 NFL player ratings: passing, rushing, receiving, pass rush, coverage

Ratings from 0 to 100, computed from data over four seasons, never by hand, specific to each position: a quarterback's passing, accuracy and decisions, a running back's elusiveness, a receiver's separation and hands, a defender's pass rush, tackling and coverage, a kicker's accuracy and range, durability, experience. OV weights them by position. No potential rating: we only rate what the player has shown.

Caveat: for the offensive line, PBK and RBK are team measures, shared by its linemen; only DIS and DUR are individual.

How it's calculated

As in the other leagues: four weighted seasons (50%, 25%, 15%, 10%), a prior toward the group average by sample size, the percentile rank among the group's regulars, then the rating (50th percentile → 75, 90th → 87, 99.5th → 97). Durability: games played out of his team's, over several seasons. Neither PAL nor WAR enters OV. Hover a header to read what each rating measures.
