What's up everybody?

Welcome into the next Pat's podcast.

I'm Phil Perry.

Fantastic episode lined up for you today.

We're bringing in Patriots tight end, Austin Hooper.

He's going to be telling us about the makeup of this team,

some savvy vets like himself, also a load of young contributors, how that mix has helped them

during this 9-and-2 run. We're talking Drake May. We're talking my cause, my cleats, a great

story, great causes to talk about there with Austin Hooper. But before we get to that conversation, let's talk a little bit more about the quarterback

Drake May and just how diabolically accurate this player has been.

Because I don't feel like we've given him actually enough justice in terms of just how

effective he's been, putting the football wherever he wants.

Some numbers for you.

He is first in the NFL, almost 72% in terms of his completion percentage.

He's first in the NFL in terms of his completion percentage over expectation, according to Ben Baldwin.

He's first in EPA, an EPA per dropback, according to the next-gen stats.

He's first in rating in EPA on deep passes.

Those are those passes that travel at least 20 yards down the football field.

He's first in completion percentage over-expected on intermediate passes.

We'll get to why that's important in a little bit.

He's also first in completion percentage over-ex, and EPA per dropback when he's under pressure.

You can be breathing on him, you can be hitting him.
