A typical post picks up 2.6K interactions against 12M followers, an engagement rate of 0.022%. Measured over 251 original posts, its engagement rate beats 59% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 898K times each, and 0.291% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 7.62% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 12.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 251 posts sampled, 44% carry an image or video and 29% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 47K interactions, about 18x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #azcardinals, #vikings, #49ers.

Compared with accounts its own size

Adam Schefter's engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 26% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.022%, Adam Schefter sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,378 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 107,364 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

The Raiders still are unsure how long he will be out, but it is not considered a long-term injury and the organization is breathing a sigh of relief tonight. Raiders declined comment on Jeantyโ€™s injury.

What is Adam Schefter's engagement rate on X?
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) has an engagement rate of 0.022%, based on the median interactions across 251 original posts from the last 30 days against 11,775,979 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.022%, Adam Schefter sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @AdamSchefter have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 59% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @AdamSchefter post?
Most posts go out around 20:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 12.67 posts per day across the measured window.
