The SIS Football Rookie Handbook 2019: Comprehensive Scouting and Analytics Guide

Developing a successful combination of statistical analysis and scouting eyes on the field has been the holy grail of professional sports for many years. One of the biggest factors that distinguishes football from other sports, however, is the large number of rookies who come into the NFL each year and end up in starting and even starring roles. Despite coming from literally hundreds of college teams, where they play relatively few games over a limited number of years before entering the pros, dozens of rookies rapidly become household names. Where are avid fans to look for real information on the rookies who may have the most impact? The answer to that question is in your hands. Here you will find the very best updated info on over 250 players who may be drafted or signed as free agent rookies in 2019 and which of them might ultimately make the best Quarterbacks, Defensive and Offensive Linemen, Receivers, Tight Ends, Running Backs, Linebackers, Corners, Safeties, and Special Teamers. Sports Info Solutions (SIS) already publishes the annual Bill James Handbook on Major League Baseball using techniques developed by Bill James, John Dewan, and hundreds of other sabermetricians. Now Matt Manocherian, a former NFL scout with the New Orleans Saints and the Cleveland Browns, and the Video Scouts at SIS have spent over 40 hours PER GAME charting and analyzing data on EVERY football game involving at least one of the 130 FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) teams dating back to 2016. Their expertise, combined with the insights of the accomplished SIS research analysts, will illuminate this year's rookie class' strengths and weaknesses: from the draft to training camp to preseason games to the regular season to next year's playoffs.
