Previewing the 2022 NFL Combine with Kent Lee Platte

The 2022 NFL Combine is just a few days away. If you’re like me, I associate the event with one specific draftnik that I’m sure most of you know very well.

For years, Kent Lee Platte—AKA @MathBomb on Twitter—has been developing what he calls RAS, or Relative Athletic Scores. It’s a very simple system that standardizes athletic measurables on an easy-to-digest 0-10 scale based on average test scores at each football position. Kent’s RAS has been picked up nationally, by local bloggers and team reporters alike. It’s on the same trajectory as spider graphs and PFF scores.
