The NFL is apparently finally waking up to the incredible value of the quarterback sneak.
The New York Times tracked the number of times teams used the sneak over the past few years. And the increase is dramatic.
In 2016, the first year of tracking, teams attempted just 73 quarterback sneaks. That rose to 133 in 2019, 170 in 2020 to 243 in 2021. That jumped up to 291 tries in the 2022 regular season.
Even accounting for the extra regular season game, that’s a 275% increase in quarterback sneak attempts.
