## Caption

There can be around 250 tracking devices in a single game: players, the football, officials, the pylons, even the first down chains. What the NFL is actually running is a live digital twin of the entire game. And every stat you see on the broadcast, top speed, yards of separation, completion probability, comes from this NFL player tracking system, better known as Next Gen Stats.

The part I assumed wrong: these aren’t impact sensors. They track movement, not hits. What happens to a player’s head during a collision is measured by something else entirely, and that’s another episode.

There’s way more tech in the sports we watch than most of us realise.
