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, Brayden Isaiah's best came in week 1 at Towson and his quietest in week 4 at Elon.
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. Brayden Isaiah is 320th of 920 FCS defensive backs and 29th of 87 in the Coastal Athletic. Next up nationally is Parker Chaney of Dayton, 0.00 ahead on the index.
