In a recent episode of BTSC’s Steelers Stat Geek podcast, I was challenged to determine how long it takes Steelers’ draft picks to get fully acclimated to the team. Since it was not a “one size fits all” determination, I was given the liberty to try to determine the answer in whatever way I saw fit.
Since I was given the liberty to do what I thought was best, I decided to look at two different metrics. First, I looked at what point the player cracked the starting lineup. Additionally, I looked at the player’s snap counts per game and how they increased to a certain level.
