26CornerBlitz Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 @AP_NFL Info from chips players wore during 2015 NFL season will be available to teams in May http://apne.ws/21FVQKF @AP_RobMaaddi BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) — NFL teams soon will be breaking down a whole new set of stats. The information from the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips players wore during the 2015 season will be available to teams in May. An NFL spokesman said each club will receive data for its own players. RFID chips — similar to the technology used to make credit cards more secure — are nickel-sized transmitters that wirelessly communicate location data, measure speed and how much space is between players at a given moment. Each player wore a chip in his shoulder pads during games for the first time last season. Teams have used tracking devices on players during practices for a few years.
