Graduate Capstone Project

NFL Wide Receiver Prospect Evaluation: Using Only Numbers

The idea for my capstone project came from one of my passions. I developed the concept for this project in mid-March 2025, when the hype for the 2025 NFL Draft was in full-swing.

My goal here was to see how effective using only quantitative analytics is in prospect evaluation. In order to answer this, I created my own statistic. While the returns with my statistic were better than expected, this stat is in early development and I look forward to enhancing it in the future.
