The National Football League (NFL) is one of the largest professional sports organizations in the United States. Currently, there are 32 NFL teams and each year, each attempting to maximize performance to win the Super Bowl.

We additionally explored the relationship between draft position and player performance and found the relative value of various player positions at different draft positions.
