My name is Jake Cardonick and I am a third-year college student at the University of Chicago majoring in Statistics, Economics, and Data Science. You can call me Jake – or another nerd ruining sports.
I'm currently looking for an internship from the beginning of August through the end of September. If interested, please email jcardonick@uchicago.edu. I love talking football — feel free to reach out with any questions, improvements, or future projects you'd like to see. Note: All data is sourced from FantasyPoints and ProFootballFocus.
You can also follow me on Twitter at @JakeCar120 for more football takes and nerdy insights.
