I don't like it.  I think it would be better to represent the rows as 
classes, and then compose the object as a collection of those objects. 
I know this sounds like a bit of extra work, but in the long run it's 
probably better.

For example, if you wanted to use a JTable, which is a table for GUI 
display, having the actual types as ints, double, etc. instead of 
strings would be a big advantage because the default display/editing 
will use those types and "do the right thing" in many cases.

Something like:

public class PlayerStats {
   String name;
   int touchdowns;
   double yardsRushing;
   double yardsPassing;
   ... getters/setters...

   public int getPropertyCount() { return 4; }
   public int getPropertyNames() {
     return new String[] { "Name","Touchdows","Yards Rushing",
            "Yards Passing", };
}

public class StatsTable {
   ArrayList<PlayerStats> playerStats;
   ... don't need "rows" use playerStats.getSize()
   ... columns: use getPropertyCount()...
}
