Pandas
Flexible and powerful data analysis / manipulation library for Python, providing labeled data structures similar to R data.frame objects, statistical functions, and much more
Another question you may be asking is: "What about skill players?" Well, what about them? Skill players are defined as players that consistently tote the rock. I was able to filter out skill player's performance in different combine events using pandas. For our purposes, the following positions (as listed on PRF) were considered 'skill players': WR, RB, QB, TE, DB, LB. In included linebackers but if you want to not include them, knock yourself out. It kind of only helps my case that the likes of Roquan Smith and Nakobe Dean don't count for the SEC. When only considering skill players, the SEC ranks 2nd to the Big 12 in 40-yard dash times. In the other combine events for which there is data, the SEC ranks first in none of them.
