Mrs. Nutter's 5th graders spent a few days analyzing player data from both Super Bowl teams. They compared strength, weight, speed, agility, catch radius, and throw velocity between opposing players. They made their predictions and then designed a Super Bowl hat for the team they believe has the best players based on player stats.
