Section 3.1.1 - clear up data re. Mahomes and Manning #11

Closed bcongelio closed 10 months ago

bcongelio commented 11 months ago

In trying to explain that load_player_stats() brings in passing, rushing, and receiving yards for each player, I quickly switched to Peyton Manning to showcase that the data provides, for example, his rushing EPA (-0.740, if you were wondering) which is a stat that is not all that useful considering what we know about Peyton.

I switch back to using Mahomes in the examples right after. I think doing a bit of editing in that section will make it a bit more clear what I am trying to highlight about the data in that getting information pertaining to Mahomes' rushing EPA is perhaps relevant (especially compared to Peyton).
