About this opportunity

The ninth Big Data Bowl combines NFL Scouting Combine measurements with in-game player tracking data. The question: which pre-draft traits best predict NFL success, across wide receivers, tight ends, defensive backs and both lines. There's an Undergraduate/Graduate track for current students and an Open track for everyone else. Finalists share $100,000 and present at the 2027 NFL Scouting Combine. Entrants get about three months to submit; registration is open now on Kaggle.

What you get

  • $100,000 shared prize
  • Present at the NFL Scouting Combine
  • Real NFL tracking data for your portfolio
