He recorded a Relative Athletic Score of 9.74, out of a possible 10.0. RAS is a composite metric on a 0 to 10 scale based on the average of all of the percentile for each of the metrics the player completed either at the Combine or pro day.

He had a recorded height of 5075 that season, recorded as XYYZ where X is feet, YY is inches, and Z is eighths of an inch. That correlates to 5 feet, 7 and 5/8 of an inch or 67.625 inches, or 171.7675 centimeters. This correlates to a 0.43 score out of 10.0.

He recorded a weight of 202 in pounds, which is approximately 91 kilograms. This correlates to a 4.84 score out of 10.0.

Based on his weight, he has a projected 40 yard dash time of 4.55. This is calculated by taking 0.00554 multiplied by his weight and then adding 3.433.
At the Combine, he recorded a 40 yard dash of 4.41 seconds. This was a difference of -0.14 seconds from his projected time. This forty time correlates to a 9.74 score out of 10.0.

Using Bill Barnwell’s calculation, this Combine 40 time gave him a Speed Score of 106.81.

At his pro day, he recorded a 20 yard split of 2.55 seconds. This correlates to a 9.87 score out of 10.0.

We can calculate the speed traveled over the second ten yards of the 40 yard dash easily, as the distance and time are both known. The time he traveled the second ten yards at his pro day was 1.03 seconds. Over 10 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 9.71. Taking into account the distance in feet (30 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 29.13. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 349.51. Knowing the feet per second of 29.13, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 19.9 in the second ten yards of his run.

This player did not have a recorded 10 yard split for the Combine in the RAS database.

At his pro day, he recorded a 10 yard split of 1.52 seconds. This correlates to a 10.0 score out of 10.0.

The time he traveled the first ten yards at his pro day was 1.52 seconds. Over 10 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 7.0. Taking into account the distance in feet (30 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 20.0. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 237.0. Knowing the feet per second of 20.0, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 13.6 in the first ten yards of his run.

At the Combine, he recorded a bench press of 21 repetitions of 225 pounds. This correlates to a 9.75 score out of 10.0.

At the Combine, he recorded a vertical jump of 41.5 inches. This correlates to a 9.87 score out of 10.0.

At the Combine, he recorded a broad jump of 1100, which is recorded as FII or FFII . where F is feet and I is inches. This correlates to a 10.0 score out of 10.0 that when multiplied by ten roughly corresponds to percentile.

This player did not have a recorded 5-10-5 or 20 yard short shuttle for the Combine in the RAS database.

This player did not have a recorded 3 cone L drill for the Combine in the RAS database.
