Predicting Rookie Season Performance Based on National Football League (NFL) Scouting Combine Movement Analysis
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis Major Qualifying Project seeks to advance player evaluations in the National Football League (NFL) by transforming wide receiver positional tracking data during the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine into meaningful metrics. To achieve this, our team developed a systematic approach to preprocessing data that utilizes specific thresholds to identify and segment drills. A similar process was applied to routes throughout the 2022-2023 NFL season. Following this, metrics were created on the drills and routes to represent players' movements. Finally, several techniques, such as correlation and regression, were performed alongside the creation of a route prediction model.
