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

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.
