For so many days I’ve attempted to live bright and strong as I waited for these numbers to be released. During the 2018 season as Deshaun Watson ducked and dipped and dived and dodged sack attempts and fluttered outside the pocket to run past the chains and flip passes downfield, I wondered, oh how I wondered, what his DVOA was with and without pressure. Today is that day.
Watson was pressured on 41.1% of his dropbacks, the most in football, had a DVOA of -27.4% with pressure which was 5th behind Patrick Mahomes, Jameis Winston, Mitchell Trubisky, and Philip Rivers, and had a DVOA of 56.
