Here are the top seven technology areas that impacted the NFL this season:
1. Football tracking
In the fourth year of its five-year deal with the NFL, Zebra Technologies was able to place in tracking chips in all game balls. That enables the gathering of data including the velocity and rotation rate of the football.
An elite quarterback would register 700 rpm with the football coming out of his hand, Zebra vice president of sports business development John Pollard told reporters last week.
Pollard said the league was evaluating and studying the data coming from footballs and that fans could soon have access to it.
