PFF grades every player on every play in every FBS and FCS game, and that includes tracking which run concepts are used on each snap. This level of detail allows teams and evaluators to drill down on how players performed in specific schemes, helping identify ideal fits for their offense.

For example, if an NFL team like the Atlanta Falcons — who used outside zone on 59% of their run plays in 2024 — wants to find linemen who thrive in that concept, PFF’s data can highlight the best matches.

Below are the highest-graded offensive linemen on the PFF Big Board, broken down by run-blocking concept.
