Across 15 regular seasons on file. Return yards are the yards he gained, not the yards the kick travelled.

His role

Share of his team's snaps
-25points of snap shareHe was playing less by the end of the season.

69% of his team's offensive snaps across his first 7 games of 2019, 44% across the last 3 — and 3.0 touches or attempts a game against 3.0.

Snap share is the coaching staff's own weekly statement about his job, and it moves before the points do. It cannot say why — injury, benching and game script all look identical here.

Below 1 was a hard schedule, above 1 an easy one, and it differs by stat. Rated on 9 of 9 regular-season games in 2019; the rest are left unadjusted rather than dropped. Playoff games are not included, because what a defence allows is measured over the league season.
