Welcome to my thesis project!
This dataset is collected from NFL Gamecenter JSON Data using an API called nfldb (here). It contains play-by-play data for the seasons 2009-2015 and could be updated with the nfldb module. The most important table is play-player. This is a denormalized event style table that contains rows for every player invloved in every play. One play will have multiple rows in play player if more than one player recorded a statistic on the play. This table and Explore is where the majority of player statistics are modeled.
A good starting place is the Leaderboard Dash This has has the top ten players in each positional grouping sorted by a metric I've deemed most relevent.

There are also player lookup dashboards for positional groups.
