How the NFL is using AI to evaluate players

With the upcoming NFL draft, the stakes are high for the league's billion-dollar franchises. Few events represent greater opportunities than the annual talent assessment undertaken by professional football teams. In a highly competitive league with fixed salary caps, the selection of new talent can make or break football operations. If you make the right choices, your team's fortunes can sky-rocket while personnel mistakes consign your team to below-average performance. In this type of situation, it is little surprise that teams are deploying the latest technologies as part of their skills assessments, talent recruitment, and evaluation of injury proneness.
