Over the past two seasons the National Football League used a player tracking system during regular season games. However, up until this point the data and statistics have only been used by media outlets and fans. But now the NFL is ready to release this data to all 32 NFL teams.
Staring in 2014 season the NFL and Zebra Technologies, “The Official On-Field Player-Tracking Provider”, began tracking player movement during NFL games. At that point only 18 stadiums were outfitted with this tracking technology, but for the 2015 season all 31 (New York Giants and Jets play in same stadium) stadiums were outfitted to collect this data.
