Cynthia Frelund, NFL Network’s Analytics expert, created a metric called WIN SHARE to measure contributions built around how many times an offensive player “impacts first downs and touchdowns that lead to wins or losses, either by creating first downs and touchdowns on offense or by preventing them on defense.” In an article published today, Frelund broke down which players will lead the NFL in the win share metric in 2022. From the Pittsburgh Steelers, both running back Najee Harris and outside linebacker T.J. Watt made the list.
Harris was ranked as the 5th-highest non-quarterback offensive player, behind Titans running back Derrick Henry, Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
