Getting NFL data for your projects easier than ever.
If you are into sports data science and analyzing players and teams then you need data. Teams have large amount of detailed data but you, in your couch, you need to look for it, gather and do all the work. Specially if you want to show your skills, play with real data and answer real questions.
Luckily some people and companies in the community are really kind to make all this much easier.
In this case, Iโm giving a shootout to Jake Sanghavi who shared a few weeks ago his updated repository to access NFL data in a simpler way than before so you can make the most out of it without hustling too much.
His words:
NFL repository to make it easy for anyone to download data from @nflfastR & @Sportradar into one dataset, all with just 1 line of code!
This is the repo.
And these are some plots he created easily with the data he pulls.

Go in the repo, check the instructions and see a few examples of what can be done! Maybe something is useful for your next project!
