I have downloaded stats for the recently completed 2014 NFL regular season from yahoo.com, cleaned the data, and saved in Excel and CSV formats. The files are located here. The column headers should be self-explanatory.
The Excel workbook has seven worksheets:
- QB: quarterback data.
- RB: running backs.
- WR: wide receivers.
- TE: tight ends.
- K: kickers. I have broken out attempted and made field goals by distance into separate columns for convenience.
- DEF: defensive stats by team.
- ST: special teams stats by team.
The same folder also has separate CSV files for each position, which may be more helpful if you are a coder.

Thanks for putting these up. The data is so clean. I restructured it and threw it in Tableau public here http://tabsoft.co/1fYrC4k I think it might fall under “furious heat maps that say nothing” 🙂
Hey Charlie – this is awesome! Thanks for sharing. If you’re on twitter LMK so I can give you a +1 there as well.
This is great! By any chance, would you be able to share game by game statistic for each player?
