Do you have any grading on Ngakoue? Curious as I believe most of his sacks in 2020 have been LQ.

First great read, always something I wondered about, but often only here analysts differentiate sack value during draft time.

Sometimes edge-rushers play on the inside, particularly on 3rd down or long yard situations. I.e. Brandon Graham likely does it a couple times a game or 10% or more of his snaps. So does your metric include those pass rushes. And are those pass rushes part of the snaps and snap % tally. Omitting interior sacks but including the play as part of snaps/snaps % creates a variance. Tracking both would be more time consuming as you'd have to track by inside vs outside pass rush for each play vs watching just sacks. Either way it'll would skew the metric based on positional analysis so a note may be required until you start the "interior sack production analysis"

Regardless, again, great job!
