My Capstone Project: Pigskin Paydays
In this project, we aimed to predict the percentage of a team’s budget allocated to NFL quarterbacks based on their statistics. We gathered data from various sources, including player stats, contract history, and even player commentary, to gain insights into what factors influence a quarterback’s worth.
We started by exploring different hypotheses, like how leading the team to the playoffs or having more passing yards and touchdowns could impact a quarterback’s percentage cap. After combining and preparing the data, we delved into univariate and bivariate analyses to understand the relationships between the selected features and the target variable.
Through our modeling process, we tried out various regression models and found that the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model was the most effective, outperforming the baseline by 1.4 points with an RMSE score of 5.74 on the unseen test data. We also highlighted the importance of considering both measurable and intangible attributes like leadership skills to further refine our predictions.
Ultimately, our project provides valuable insights for teams and negotiators, helping them make informed decisions about player contracts and budget allocations. By continuing to improve and expand our model, we can extend its applicability to other positions beyond quarterbacks, making it an even more valuable tool for teams across the league.
