The NFL will be rolling out a new tracking system that gives real time stats on players!

This is pretty awesome and innovative! From Yahoo! Sports:

The NFL is rolling out the initial phase of a tracking system that will allow fans to view a wide range of statistics about their favorite players, including speed, routing, distance traveled, and separation. As reported by USA Today, each player will wear two small sensors under the shoulder pads, and the sensors will track the players' movements throughout the game. (And ONLY the game, which should bring a sigh of relief to quite a few players.)

The players signed an agreement to this back in 2011 in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

The technology will first be put into 17 stadiums (yes New Olreans is one of them!)

What do you think? Useless or Worthwhile?
