Searching For A Link Between Analytics And Pass Rushers (And The Will Index)

“The analytics guy that develops a will index, they are on the cutting edge.” – Mike Tomlin.

No matter how much Pittsburgh Steelers’ coach Mike Tomlin may not like to admit it, analytics are very much the cutting edge of sports. It would be foolish to believe that Tomlin and his staff do not invest in analytical data. Football, like any other sport is about being one step ahead of your competition, and any advantage, whether it be physical or analytical will be utilized.

Tomlin may have casted a cloud of secrecy over his research into finding a “will index”, but perhaps with some research of my own, I can find a way to navigate through it.
