The NFL (National Football League) has a wide variety of positions, each coming with hundreds of different statistics purposed to gauge success. As the number of statistics increases for each position, the most important values to determine a player's success should be singled out. The research consists of having 3 unique statistics for every position in the NFL, which are compared from week to week for all 18 weeks of the season. The values will then be used to correlate certain statistics to an individual player's success by seeing which specific statistic best relates to a player’s performance during any given week using completely original research.
