The Late-Round Podcast: Player Charting

​In Episode 2 of The Late-Round Podcast, JJ Zachariason sits down with NFL.com's Matt Harmon to talk about his wide receiver player charting series, Reception Perception.

There are biases littered in football analysis. Someone analyzing the game from a data perspective may not know how to interpret numbers correctly, and another analyst watching film may have no idea what to look for.

Enter player charting, or the use of a methodical approach to film watching that then creates actual data to decode.

In Episode 2 of The Late-Round Podcast, numberFire's Editor-In-Chief, JJ Zachariason, sits down with NFL.com's Matt Harmon to talk through his player charting experience with his popular Reception Perception series. Harmon explains his process, what he looks for, how he ignores narratives surrounding players, and much more.
