Pre-Snap Motion Rate Leaders
Pre-Snap Motion Rate — 2022 NFL leaders, updated Oct 2, 2026. Miami Dolphins led the league in pre-snap motion rate at 59.5%, ahead of 31 other qualifying teams. Based on verified play-level charting from FTN Data via nflverse, regular season only. Through the 2022 season.
Motion is any offensive player moving before the snap, and its first job is not deception but information. A defender who runs with the motion man has announced man coverage; a defense that passes him off has announced zone. An offense that motions on most snaps is buying that answer over and over, and it is one of the few things a coordinator controls completely — the gap between the teams that move someone constantly and the teams that almost never do is wider than for nearly anything else an offense chooses.
