Introduction
Hey everyone! I know, this isn’t your monthly #SportsVizSunday data challenge or the weekly thread of awesome sports vizzes, this is #WorkoutWednesday, but with a sports twist. My name is Spencer Baucke, co-founder of #SportsVizSunday and consultant at Tessellation. I was suuuuper excited when the #WoW crew reached out and asked if we wanted to be a part of the Community Month, so of course we said yes. This month we are going to bring some of the #SportsVizSunday world to the #WorkoutWednsday community, so let’s hop into the fun!

Dataset
This week the data we are using was provided to us by Eric Eager, an Applied Mathematician and Data Scientist at Pro Football Focus, a sports analytics company in Cincinnati, OH. Each row of this data represents a running attempt by an NFL player for the 2017-2019 seasons. Each rushing attempt includes columns details about that rush. Examples of this are what type of run concept the offense ran, how many yards were needed to gain a first down, how many yards were earned, if a touchdown was scored or not, and how many yards were gained after the defense-first made contact with the runner. You can get it here at data.world
