What Are Slot Snaps?

Slot Snaps record the total number of snaps taken in the slot between the outermost receiver and the offensive line. This NFL advanced stat is a key part of NFL player stats for evaluating how a player is used in inside passing routes. Slot alignments can help create mismatches against linebackers or safeties, open space for quick throws, and diversify a team’s offensive attack. Within NFL team stats, slot usage patterns can show how a team’s passing game is structured, how often they target inside routes, and which players are most involved in them.
