In conjunction with Wilson Sporting Goods CSR is giving away a smart football gift pack to one lucky CSR member. The maker of the footballs used on Sundays around the NFL is releasing a new ball, called the Wilson X Connected Football. This new ball will be available for sale starting on Thursday, September 8th, in conjunction with the opening of the 2016 NFL season.
The ball has a sensor implanted inside it that can connect to a smartphone app, providing all sorts of information about a person’s throwing of said ball - distance, speed, and much, much more.
