Direction and air yards come from the play-by-play (left / middle / right thirds of the field), so each glow sits in its zone rather than on an exact spot. Hover a zone for detail.

The play-by-play names the defender on breakups, interceptions and tackles, but not the man in coverage on every throw, so true times-targeted isn't in the text. Coverage plays is the closest stand-in; exact targets come from hand charting.

2025 charting · Tennessee

2025 season. ESPN's play-by-play only has throw and catch spots for part of 2025 (5 of Bishop’s games here), so treat the maps as a sample.
