EmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsESPN Analytics created revolutionary metrics to measure performance in the trenches -- in both the run and pass game -- using player tracking data from NFL Next Gen Stats. And we updated the formula a little bit for 2026 -- see what's new here.Our pass rush win rate metric tells us how often a pass rusher is able to beat/win his block within 2.5 seconds. Likewise, our pass block win rate metric conveys the rate linemen can sustain their blocks for 2.5 seconds or longer.In run stop win rate, a defender can earn a win by doing any of the following: beating his blocker so he's in better position to stop the runner; disrupting the pocket or running lane by pushing his blocker backward; containing the runner such that he must adjust his running lane; or recording a tackle within 3 yards of the line of scrimmage. If a defender earns a run stop win, his blocker earns a loss -- and vice versa.Here are the rankings for each metric for the 2026 NFL season.Last updated: Through Week 1 games, Sept. 15 at 10 a.m. ETJump to:Player PRWR | Player PBWRPlayer RSWR | Player RBWRTeam win ratesVisit the ESPN Analytics Index for more.
