For special teams, this can be K, KR, LS, P, or ST (generic special teams).Note that ED is only used from 2019 forward. For defense, this can be DB, DL, ED (edge), or LB.
For offense, this can be OL, QB, RB, TE, or WR.category: The category of position the player plays in.side: The side of the ball the player plays on.If NA, the player was not assigned an ID by Pro Football Reference, which normally indicates they never played in an NFL game. playerid: The ID of the selected player as used by Pro Football Reference.This will usually match nflscrapR name fields, but not for every player. name: The name of the selected player in the same format as NFL play-by-play data.full_name: The name of the selected player.round: The round of the draft this pick occurred in.This team may have had this pick originally, or traded for it. team: The team that drafted the player.This is the season after the draft, not the one before it, so this would represent the rookie year for drafted players. season: The season in which the draft occurred.For example, if doing a QB analysis, do a filter(position = 'QB') so you're less likely to join to a wrong player.ĭata begins with the 2000 season, does not include picks from the supplemental draft, and comes from the excellent Pro Football Reference. You can remove posteam=team to change this, but the weaker the join, the more likely it results the risk of false positives and duplicate rows for players with names that translate identically once in the NFL play-by-play format, so be careful when you do this! I'd add some additional filtering if you can. Note this will only match results for the player playing for the team that drafted them. Left_join( draft_picks, by =c( "posteam " = "team ", "name " = "name "))
