What Are Designed Rush Attempts?

Designed Rush Attempts records the total number of rushing plays intentionally called for the quarterback. This NFL player stat is a straightforward NFL advanced stat for showing planned usage in the ground game. High totals often indicate a dual-threat quarterback or a scheme built to incorporate QB runs. In NFL team stats, designed rush attempts are used to measure how much an offense leverages its quarterback as a weapon in the running game.
