Missing 2022 Rookie Data in Roster Import

[alecglen]

Hi @stranger9977, it appears the data is present in the repo as intended.

In: pd.merge(
    ...:     nfl.import_rosters([2022]),
    ...:     nfl.import_seasonal_data([2022]),
    ...:     on=['season', 'player_id']
    ...: ).query('player_name == "Drake London"')

Out: 
    season team position depth_chart_position  jersey_number  status   player_name first_name last_name birth_date  height  weight college  ... games    tgt_sh     ay_sh    yac_sh    wopr_y     ry_sh    rtd_sh    rfd_sh  rtdfd_sh      dom     w8dom    yptmpa    ppr_sh
40    2022  ATL       WR                   WR            5.0  Active  Drake London      Drake    London 2001-07-24    76.0   210.0    None  ...    17  0.281928  0.300521  0.187958  0.663308  0.295866  0.235294  0.324324  0.315152  0.26558  0.283752  2.086747  0.149509

The problem is in your line stats['season'] = stats['season'] +1. I'm not sure what your intention was exactly, but doing that sets London's one year of seasonal_data as if it happened in 2023 instead of 2022. Since there is no 2023 roster data published yet, your pd.merge with how='inner' filters London out since there are no records that align on season.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any follow-up questions.
