ATT stands for Attempts, an American football abbreviation.
Statistic counting pass attempts for quarterbacks or rushing attempts (carries) for running backs. It appears beside completions or yards in box scores to show volume.
Example: RUSHING: Henry 28 ATT, 151 YDS, 2 TD.
Usage notes
Dividing completions by attempts gives completion percentage, and yards by attempts gives YPA. Kicking stats also use attempts, as in 28 of 32 field goals made. Heavy rushing volume is prized in fantasy football because carries lead to touchdowns.
