Brandon Scherff was NFL's top guard in one critical advanced metric





















By: Chris Roling | May 27, 2019

Plenty of intrigue, if not mystery, surroundings the Washington Redskins and Brandon Scherff this offseason when it comes to his contract.
Not mysterious? Scherff’s elite play.
Scherff was one of the NFL’s best again last year. But as Mike Johnson of Pro Football Focus pointed out, Scherff topped the NFL among guards in pure passing sets:





“Pure passing sets,” meaning the elimination of quick plays like screens that take less than 2.5 seconds to better evaluate how a lineman holds up for an extended amount of time.
Call this evaluation of Scherff yet another mark on the resume that ranks him among the elite. And combating interior pressure from the Aaron Donalds of the world is more than ever, so rest assured the Redskins would take into account factors like this at the negotiation table while thinking about the future of the Dwayne Haskins era.
