Reginald Covington III is an enigma. He reminds me of the Jameis Winston of NFL lore. Despite a 0.9:1 touchdown to interception ratio, Covington led the DSFL in passing yards and carried the Kansas City Coyotes to an Ultimini appearance in Season 23. The following season, Covington broke the DSFL record for touchdown passes in a season. He improved his touchdown to interception ratio from a 0.9:1 to a 2.1:1. Part of this improvement can also be attributed to improvement by the offensive line. In season 23, the Kansas City offensive line had a collective 235 pancakes and 16 sacks allowed. In season 24 Kansas City had 263 pancakes and 18 sacks allowed. 28 more pancakes for 2 more sacks is a great ratio of improvement. Despite this improvement in both QB and offensive line play, Kansas City lost 1 more game and missed the playoffs entirely. On defense, they moved up from last in the league to sixth. While not as impressive as other improvements, this is still a direct improvement over the previous season. How Kansas City did not translate these statistical improvements into better performance on the field is beyond my comprehension.
