What Is The Importance Of Passing Yards

Improved Essays
I think every player at the quarterback, running back, and receiver positions has that one number in the back of their mind before the first snap of every regular season. The goal, what they want to accomplish as an individual concerning productivity.
Yes, there are teammates needed in order to help pave the way, but the total number of yards they are able to gain throughout the course of the season is a direct reflection of their abilities as a professional athlete. Regardless if it’s 3,800 passing yards, 2,000 receiving yards, or rushing the ball for 1,500 yards, I would think that one number would be a constant thought.
Isaiah Crowell, the running back of the Cleveland Browns, gave reporters the number 1,000 before the Browns took the field

What defines a great team over any other team?…

    To help achieve a better understanding of how comparable professional athletes are in their respective sports, looking at the top 100 earners in each sport will help.
