Math is used in professional football in every practice, training camp, pre-season game, and regular season game. Without math it would just be a game that uses pigskin. Let's look at the completed pass and the math involved. The quarterback is tracked by the percentage of completions attempted and made, along with completion yards. The distance he threw the ball and which side of the field he through the ball. In addition, to the completion percentage based on taking the snap from under center or shotgun. These pigskin numbers are all used to develop a mathematical model of the quarterback, for statistical comparison with other quarterbacks. The receiver who caught the pass is judged on the number of passes thrown to him and the number of catches. He is also judged on the number yards he gains after the catch and areas that he catches the passes. Just like the quarterback these pigskin numbers are all used to develop a mathematical model of the receiver, for statistical comparison with other receivers. ||
