The Green Bay Packers and the 31 other NFL teams all want one thing: good football players who are big, fast and explosive athletes. It’s the reason why every team congregates in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine every year. And it’s why tracking the athleticism of draft prospects is such an important part of the evaluation puzzle.
The Packers have been one of the most strict teams in terms of using athletic performance as a foundational part of the pre-draft process. While the team probably doesn’t use Kent Lee Platte’s Relative Athletic Score (RAS) metric, you can bet the Packers have something close to it based on previous draft history.
