Scouting QBsCaitlin Phelps

Idea

• Find what combine results explain college QB results• Reverse look on QBs college seasons and combine

results

E(y)= β0+ β1*Height+β2*Weight+β3*Vertical+β4*BroadJump+β5*ThreeCone+β6*Shuttle+β

7*CollegeSeasons+β8*x10time

Results: Average Rushing

Results: Completion Pct

Stepwise Regression

• Forwards: Start with nothing and add variables• Backwards: Start with all variables and delete• Bidirectional: Combination of above two

Backwards Elimination

Conclusion

• Combine results are not the greatest explanation of average rushing yards and completion percentage of QBs

• Typically, the higher average rushing yards, the quicker the QB

• Main Combine Results to look at for a QB:• 10 yard dash• Broad Jump• Vertical• Shuttle• Three Cone

Draft Year Relations

• Looking at the change in average rushing yards, completion percentage, and 10 yard dash time over draft years

Future Ideas

• Factor out all QBs in data that didn’t get drafted• See if there is a trend in what type of QBs are now drafted
