Tracking Football uses proprietary algorithms to score the raw athleticism of football athletes. These scores have been showcased at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference<\/a>\u00a0and covered by numerous publications. Our most popular score is the Player Athletic Index<\/a>. This score takes into account a player’s height, weight, position, track and field results & multiple sport participation information. It provides a 0.0 – 5.0 comparison to 30,000+ current and former division 1 football players<\/p>\n
