I figure it would be neat to have a thread for interesting or surprising statistics - anything that gives you a bit of a surprise when you first see it.
So here's one I saw today - the surprising James White joins the unsurprising Deon Lewis as one of the hardest RBs to tackle:
Patriots' Dion Lewis, James White are 2 of NFL's hardest RBs to tackle
Or this weird statistic that claims Brady was nowhere near the quickest in time-to-throw in 2016, when in fact he ranked 21st, well behind both Brissett (9th) and Garoppolo (6th):
Next Gen Stats Leaders
Not sure how that fits with the many years where Brady was generally the quickest:
Signature Stat Snapshot: Time To Throw | PFF
(Different sources, so I don't know if they are measuring differently or not).
Anyhow, please post any surprising stats you come across, whether for the team as a whole or for individual players.
