Hello ISFL, and welcome the third and final part of the Class of Season 27 Rookie Season Review and Draft Class Arbitrary Ranking! In this section of this piece, I’ll be covering Safeties, Offensive Linemen, Defensive Ends, Defensive Tackles, and Kickers/Punters. As a reminder of the process, I have taken game stats for all the rookies who have more than 50 TPE, through the end of the regular season, and used them to create an arbitrary score that reflects how the player performs in their given roles. I’ve broken out the class into their respective positions so that we’re not comparing Offensive and Defensive players, like QB’s (who have a higher score overall due to the possibility of both passing and rushing stats) and Offensive Linemen, who only have a few stats with which to judge them on. 

Here’s a review of my methodology. As a reminder, positions with fewer stats will have lower scores, so it shouldn’t be used as a comparison or an overall ranking (though one of the tabs in the linked spreadsheet has all players sorted by score). That spreadsheet can be found at the link below.

SPREADSHEET

For Defensive players (CB, LB, S, DE, DT), the formula is shorter, but follows the same logic:

(Tackles + Tackles for Loss + Sacks + Interceptions + Passes Defended + Safeties + Touchdowns) / (Games Played + 1)

I’ve also taken into account the Special Teams players, which are the Kickers/Punters, and when applicable, the Kick and Punt Returners. Their formula looks like this:

(Extra Point % + FG% + Punt Average + Inside 20 + Kick Return Average + Kick Return TDs + Punt Return Average + Punt Return TDs) / (Games Played + 1)

Here we go!
