What’s a Cover Snap?

Basically a Pass play.

I don’t know anything, but I guessed that cover snap meant he was playing man on man.

Ok. Thanks for the clarification but it still doesn’t help me understand the graphic. What is
William Jackson allowing 26.4 of per reception allowed? OR is that a %?

It’s saying there are 26.4 of these “cover snaps” for every reception he allows. If that’s a pass play or a play where he plays man coverage, it basically averages out to 1 reception allowed for every 26.4 of such plays. Whatever a cover snap is, that’s pretty darn impressive.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation and, yes that is impressive.

The reason why you want to watch film from the beginning of the season to the end is because you can just tell what progress and development look like. He does a good job of getting hands on the route and creating space for himself to work off any potential breaks, looks back to read Joe Flacco’s eyes at the top of the route, and uses that closing speed to make a play on the ball.

Jackson’s 2017 campaign was even better on paper than it was on tape, which is why the folks at Pro Football Focus are so enamored with him. On Monday, PFF revealed the first part of their top 50 players in the NFL.

Not only did Jackson made the list at the 42nd spot, he was ranked 8 spots higher than Bengals pro bowl receiver A.J. Green. This praise is so extraordinary for Jackson that we may have to question if it’s been fully earned.
