Evaluating Johnathan Abrams

Tashan Reed examines the impact safety Johnathan Abram had on the Raiders defense this season, using TruMedia’s research platform:

“For all his faults, Abram had a net positive effect on the Raiders’ defense. While the unit was slightly better against the run without him, it was stronger in yards per passing attempt and yards per play with him. The defense was also superior in expected points added, which measures the significance of plays in points.”
