With the Indianapolis Colts 2024 season wrapped up, let’s take a look back at which of their defenders received the highest season-long grades from Pro Football Focus based on their metrics.
But first, and for our returning readers you know where I’m going with this, but while PFF’s grading system is quite helpful at quantifying a player’s performance, it is not the be-all-end-all when it comes to player evaluation. It is one metric and should be treated as such.
Having said that, generally speaking, especially over a season-long sample size, if a player performed well, PFF’s grading system will reflect that.
Here is a look at PFF’s grading system to provide some context behind the numbers:
90.0+: Elite
80-89.9: High quality
70-79.9: Good
60-69.9: Above average
50-59.9: Average
40-49.9: Below average
39.9 or less: Poor
