Inside look at Next Gen Stats show off Russell Wilson’s deep passing skills

Josh Cohen, an Editorial Consultant for CBS, posted a page of his game notes for this Sunday’s matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers. The page he posted is specifically on Russell Wilson and his Next Gen Stats and it unveils a ton of interesting statistics.

The first stats that jump off the page are that Wilson consistently has ranked in the top-3 in the league in percentage of passing plays targeting deep and down the sideline receivers, while he has ranked near the bottom in the league every year since 2016, except for 2020, in short throws over the middle.
