ESPN calls Matthew Stafford most-improved running quarterback.
?Wheels? Stafford got some well-earned recognition from the Worldwide Leader on Tuesday.
There?s no doubt that Matthew Stafford improved his pocket presence and escapability in 2016.
ESPN went so far as to say that Stafford was the most improved running quarterback of the season (Insider required).
Here?s a snippet:
Last season, he had 26 runs past the line of scrimmage for 171 yards (6.6 yards per carry), while this season he scrambled 27 times for 213 yards (7.9 yards per carry).
He also had four broken tackles, after only two in 2015.
He was also the runner-up behind Andrew Luck in the ?passing quarterback? category.
