From PFF, Most underrated player on all 32 NFL teams: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-most-under ... s-2022#LAR



LOS ANGELES RAMS: DI AARON DONALD

Yes, you read that right. No matter how good you believe Donald to be, chances are the data says he’s better. Donald is redefining pass rushing from an interior alignment. Edge rushers generate significantly more pressure than their interior counterparts. They may have further to travel to get the pressure, but they have more space to work with and much more of their rush takes place out of the quarterback’s field of vision. Donald doesn’t just rival any edge rusher in the league for pressure, he exceeds them all. Over the past three seasons, Donald leads all pass-rushers in pressures by 32 from the next best mark. He has a pass-rush win rate of 23.2%, which is also the best mark in the league. Donald is the best pass-rusher the NFL has seen over the past 16 seasons of PFF grading and is in another world compared to any player at his position.

I've seen the wounded duck that Burrow gets off about 50 times, granted always from the same angle, and it seems like the receiver could have made a play on the ball. Perhaps his weight was on the wrong foot and couldn't lunge for it, or maybe the ball just wasn't close enough to him.

From where I was sitting at the game, I could see the ball was further in front of the reciever than it appears on the TV angle. And low.

There are angles that show that the ball landed at least 2-3 yards from him.

Yep, 9 feet would be a heck of a lunge, especially, if that is not the direction you are leaning.
