Scouting report
Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Quentin Reddish's strongest measure is passes defended per game at 0.34, 353rd of 921 (the average is 0.31). His weakest is yards per catch on his record at 16.7, 839th of 921 (the average is 11.6).
Season production
Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His tackles per game, 3.3, ranks 509th among 921 ranked defensive backs.
Against every defensive back
Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of defensive back he is. Among ranked defensive backs he sits, on average, in the 45th percentile for volume, 35th for efficiency and 62nd for impact.
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, Quentin Reddish's best came in week 4 at Boston College and his quietest in week 3 at Maryland.
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. Quentin Reddish is 454th of 921 FBS defensive backs and 44th of 106 in the ACC. Next up nationally is Duhron Goodman of Iowa State, 0.00 ahead on the index.
