How the Rookie Impact Score works

The score (0–100) blends three parts. Everything is computed from public nflverse data — nothing is hand-entered or graded by eye.

Impact = 0.35 × Playing time + 0.55 × Production + 0.10 × Draft value

1 · Playing time (35%)

Playing time = 100 × (0.75 × snap share + 0.25 × games share). Snap share is the rookie's offensive snaps (QB/RB/WR/TE/OL) or defensive snaps (DL/LB/DB) divided by his team's snaps on that side. Games share is games played ÷ team games. Special-teams snaps don't count.

Before 2013 there are no snap counts (nflverse snap data effectively begins in 2013; its 2012 file is empty). For 1999–2012, snap share is estimated by percentile matching: a rookie whose usage per team game (QB dropbacks + runs, RB touches, WR/TE catches, defenders' tackles) is at the Nth percentile of 2013–2025 rookies at his position gets the Nth-percentile snap share. Estimated values are marked “~”/“est.”.

2 · Production (55%)

Every stat is turned into a per-team-game rate so a 6-game 2026 sample compares fairly with a full season, and players who miss games are not rewarded. Each rate is z-scored against all 1999–2025 rookies at the same position (4+ games), then weighted:

QB 50% pass+rush EPA · 25% pass+rush yards · 25% total TDs − INTs
RB 45% scrimmage yards · 25% TDs · 15% rush+rec EPA · 15% catches
WR/TE 45% receiving yards · 20% TDs · 20% receiving EPA · 15% catches
DL 40% sacks · 25% tackles for loss · 15% tackles · 10% FF · 10% PD
LB 35% tackles · 20% TFL · 20% sacks · 10% INT · 10% PD · 5% FF
DB 30% INT · 30% passes defended · 30% tackles · 10% FF
OL has no individual box-score stats, so production = 0.7 × playing time (OL max out around 83 and are ranked mostly on snaps; 2013+ only).

The weighted index maps to 0–100 as 50 + 50·tanh(1.4·(index − median) ÷ (99th pct − median)): a median rookie at his position scores 50, a 99th-percentile rookie ≈ 94.

3 · Draft value (10%)

Compares the rookie's playing-time + production blend with what rookies from the same draft range historically delivered (1999–2025 averages, below). 50 + 50·tanh((actual − expected) ÷ 30) — 50 means “exactly as expected for that slot”; late-round and undrafted hits score high, quiet top-10 picks score low.

Picks 1–5	69.2
6–10	70.1
11–20	64.1
21–32	61.0
33–48	59.8
49–64	54.4
65–100	47.6
101–140	43.4
141–180	39.1
181–224	34.9
225+	33.7
Undrafted	32.6

Notes & caveats

Who counts as a rookie: drafted players in their draft year, plus undrafted players in their first NFL season (nflverse rookie season / roster years of experience = 0). Kickers, punters and long snappers aren't ranked; special-teams-only players get little playing-time credit.
2026 is live: season-to-date stats are re-downloaded from nflverse and re-scored automatically (about every 3 hours, plus a daily forced refresh). Snap counts can lag box scores by a few days, so for a day or two after games a rookie's snap share covers fewer games than his stats.
What it can't see: coverage, blocking and pressure quality (PFF-style grades), so cover corners without many targets and offensive linemen are under-described. Defensive box-score stats before ~2001 are thinner. Position is the player's roster position in his rookie season.
