Arjun Menon is another rising star in the football analytics community. He’s a research and development intern at Pro Football Focus, co-host of the Take the Points podcast, a prominent contributor to football analytics Twitter, an honorable mention at the 2023 Big Data Bowl... and he’s still in college. 

I learned a lot from Arjun during this conversation about the difference between football and other pro sports when it comes to analytics, what the future will look like for publicly available data, the salary cap, and how to build an analytics staff from scratch.
