I will be posting the top 10 and bottom 10 PFF player game grades after each game. Like it or not like it, PFF is the measures pro scouts, GM's and college GM's and coaches use for the NIL process and who to draft, recruit and to pay as well as the respective scouts using it as negotiation tool. It is relevant.
Before my retirement, I had coached defense in the Big 10 and in the League. My hope is to put out there who performed and who did not perform. The top 10 graded players should be rewarded the next game and the bottom 10 should be given the opportunity to improve their craft before given game day opportunities.
My experience has shown me that the numbers do not lie, and believe me, the players and their teammates know what their grades are. If a player grades in the top 10 and not rewarded with playing time, his teammates start questioning the process and that is one way a coach will lose his team.

Justin Popovich 20 – grade 57.0
Eric Richardson 21- grade 55.9
Deion DeBlanc 22 – grade 53.9
Rex Johnsen- 23 – grade 49.8
Immediate thoughts are the shocking number of receivers in the lower 10 along with the backs. This obviously can't continue if the offense is to have any potency.
On the defensive side, the lower reps higher graded players obviously need to see more playing time.
Have a nice week. Your thoughts and insights will be appreciated.
