No. 1 – Kayvon Webster
Enforced Penalties: 3
Resulting Yards: 19
Snaps: 19
Penalties Per 100 Snaps: 15.79
Yes, those numbers are accurate according to our sources. Kayvon Webster is flagged nearly 16 percent of the time he’s on the field.
Let’s put this in some perspective: Our No. 10 player on this list, Malik Jackson, comes in at 0.75 percent.
Need more perspective? He’s allowed one penalty yard for every snap he’s been on the field. If Chris Harris Jr. was penalized at that rate, he’d have allowed nearly five-and-a-half football fields worth of penalties this year.
Full disclosure, two of his flags have been on special teams (both holding) and only one (illegal use of hands) has come on defense. Still his percentages aren’t good in either scenario.
The Broncos cornerbacks may be dubbing themselves the “No Fly Zone,” but when Webster is on the field, they might want to consider calling it the “Flags Fly Zone.”
