@edw518, Awesome! Thank you for sharing what you're doing here with the data. I was thinking of playing with this dataset too and since I'm new to this field (data), look forward to learning from you if you post more info in the future!
Thanks!

The EPA allows one to determine how valuable players are to a team's performance. http://www.advancednflstats.com/2010/01/expected-points-ep-and-expected-points.html http://www.advancednflstats.com/2010/01/expected-points-ep-a... I've been trying to work at the college football level with this same strategy but I'm still trying to figure out how its calculated. It seems trivial but it takes a lot of data organizing.
