Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked defensive lineman, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Nolan McCamy's strongest measure is tackles for loss per game at 1.06, 23rd of 892 (the average is 0.40). His weakest is QB hurries per game at 0.14, 545th of 892 (the average is 0.26).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His tackles per game, 6.2, ranks 23rd among 892 ranked defensive linemen.
Against every defensive lineman
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked defensive linemen he sits, on average, in the 98th percentile for volume and 79th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 6 games, Nolan McCamy's best came in week 8 against North Texas and his quietest in week 9 against Notre Dame.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.
