Thanks for the thoughtful response. Two of your suggestions really stick out to me. First being the impact of the hits. I know they have GPS trackers that measure speed. How they'd be able to measure how much force a player takes (ie: clean hit vs glancing blow) I'm not sure but I think it may be worthwhile. Also I love the idea of tracking "blindsided hits" or however you'd term it. I mean that's why they outlawed the crack back block. Unseen hits are dangerous especially for head injuries.
Also I realize freak injuries can happen on any play so it wouldn't be a perfect science. But some data may be useful and semi predictive.
