Finding The Superior Athlete: SPARQ Cornerbacks In The NFL Draft

We check out the athletic markers of cornerbacks in the 2016 NFL draft and see which prospects emerge as the most productive AND most athletic.

In our ongoing series on superior athletes in the 2016 draft (on DEs, DTs, RBs, and LBs) we looked at a metric called SPARQ, which is a single number designed to summarize a player's athleticism. The number is calculated with a proprietary formula that incorporates player weight, bench press, broad jump, vertical jump, forty-yard dash, ten-yard split, short shuttle and 3-cone drill (details here).
