Much is appreciated for your responses.
Any quantifiable information on injury risk or predicting injury?
I'm thinking of Julio Jones at the 4th overall pick; except, his injury history worries me. What's the likely hood (percentage) that Julio J. can get injured? Any statistical differences who is more likely to get inured Gurley or Jones?
The short answer is yes, but not really. haha
There are some third party people out there who claim to be able to put a number on it, but there are so many factors involved, I think it's hard to put a number value on luck, but it's easier to look at a player's history, age, and usage, to put some sort of likelihood on it.
Julio and Gurley have both been hurt in the past, Julio is older, but Gurley plays a more dangerous position. So I think if you're looking at likelihood, Gurley seems the most likely of the two to get hurt. But that's not particularly predictive is it?
This is a good article that I think explains things better than I can: https://www.4for4.com/nfl-injuries-defining-look-0
