He recorded a Relative Athletic Score of 4.67, 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 6044 that season, recorded as XYYZ where X is feet, YY is inches, and Z is eighths of an inch. That correlates to 6 feet, 4 and 4/8 of an inch or 76.5 inches, or 194.31 centimeters. This correlates to a 8.62 score out of 10.0.

He recorded a weight of 308 in pounds, which is approximately 140 kilograms. This correlates to a 8.1 score out of 10.0.

Based on his weight, he has a projected 40 yard dash time of 5.14. 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 5.34 seconds. This was a difference of 0.2 seconds from his projected time. This forty time correlates to a 1.05 score out of 10.0.

Using Bill Barnwell’s calculation, this Combine 40 time gave him a Speed Score of 75.76.

At his pro day, he recorded a 40 yard dash of 5.11 seconds. Because he also recorded this metric at the Combine, his pro day did not count towards his RAS.

Using Bill Barnwell’s calculation, his Combine 40 time gave him a Speed Score of 1.26.

The time traveled between the 20 and 40 yard lines is known as the Flying Twenty. As the distance is also known, we can calculate the player’s speed over that distance. The time he traveled the last twenty yards at the Combine was 2.29 seconds. Over 20 yards, we can calculate his speed in yards per second to 8.73. Taking into account the distance in feet (60 feet), we can calculate his speed in feet per second to 26.2. Breaking it down further, we can calculate his speed in inches per second to 314.41. Knowing the feet per second of 26.2, we can calculate the approximate miles per hour by multiplying that value by 0.681818 to give us a calculated MPH of 17.9 in the last 20 yards of his run.
