Individual team tendencies vary wildly. For instance, tracking data from groups like Sharp Football Analysis showed that teams like the Green Bay Packers dialed up wide receiver screens as part of an RPO upwards of 84.8% of the time, while other heavy screen users like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Kansas City Chiefs sat closer to 43% and 47.8%
