New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton thinks the NFL isn't far away from implementing more advanced technology into games that will make officials' jobs easier.

Speaking to The Athletic's Jeff Duncan, Payton said the technology is available now for the league to use things like LED goalposts for field goals and ball-tracking technology to determine if a ball crosses the plane for a touchdown.

"It's coming," he added.

Duncan noted the NFL has been using a Zebra chip in footballs during games for the past three seasons "to gauge the height, velocity, rotation and distance traveled of every pass and kick in every game" to provide information for Next Gen Stats.
