Okay, so I wanted to mess around with some NFL data, specifically looking at running backs. Here’s how I went about it, step-by-step. It was a bit of a learning curve, but kinda fun.
Getting Started
First, I needed to find the data. I figured there must be a website out there with all the stats, I spent a few minutes searching and found one.
Wrangling the Data
Next, I wanted to organize all of this.I wanted to make sense of everything.
- I looked for total rushing yards. It’s a classic stat, always good to see who’s racking them up.
- Then, I checked out touchdowns. Because, you know, scoring is pretty important.
- I also looked at yards per carry. This one’s interesting because it shows how efficient a running back is.
I manually made notes for players,looking at the numbers and scribbling down some names that stood out.
Making Some Observations
After I had all this data sorted, I started noticing some interesting patterns.
So, that was my little dive into NFL running back stats. It was a bit messy, but it helped me better understand.
