Great-circle (haversine) distance from each player's listed hometown to his team's home stadium, taken from CFBD roster data. The headline is the median player, using the upper of the two middle values on an even roster so the number is always a distance somebody actually travelled. Hometowns and campuses are placed at city-centroid / stadium precision, not street address. That is honest at the 60–2,500 mile scale this board covers, but a single player's true door-to-door distance can differ by a few miles. Teams need at least 25 geocoded players to be ranked.
