Past seasons are summed from ESPN box scores; success rates and snap shares come from the play-by-play. Hunter Smith's team rank is that season's final TDC rank. A dash means the stat wasn't recorded. * Defense rebuilt from the play-by-play (ESPN's box scores that season are missing it); about 10% below official totals.
