Brady responded by writing that the Patriots were “hard working grinders”. The job title “director of analytics” can mean all sorts of things, from using numbers to back up things you already suspected (first down efficiency is crucial, scoring prowess on trips inside the 40-yard line is even more revelatory than inside the 20, etc.) to wiring up the players with Global Positioning System and VR technology and adapting the team’s sports science and training programs, to assessing and then applying historical methodology to drafting and team-building.
