*S26 ISFL First Round Geographical Analysis - dogwoodmaple - 11-21-2020

(479 words, 1.5x draft media)

What do I mean with "Geographic Draft Analysis"? I'll analyze each ISFL first round pick to determine the average distance from their players' hometown to the franchise headquarters. If a player has a state listed instead of listed and no specific city, I used that state’s capital. If a player had no hometown and no state listed, I used their college. If they had no hometown, no state, and no college, I excluded them altogether.

First round, listed from closest to farthest
  • #6 QB Ryan Negs, Philadelphia Liberty - Newark, New Jersey - 75.05 miles
  • #3 DE Ernest Lover, Baltimore Hawks - Romance, West Virginia - 272.59 miles
