The season, game by game
Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 9 games, Brendan Bett's best came in week 1 against Florida Atlantic and his quietest in week 3 at Auburn.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.
National and conference
Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Brendan Bett is 307th of 892 FBS defensive linemen and 50th of 113 in the SEC. Next up nationally is Joseph Head Jr. of Memphis, 0.00 ahead on the index.

Defensive linemen like him
Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Tyler Gillison of Ohio.
