Football Outsiders uses a SACKSEER projection for edge defenders. That encompasses the following criteria:
• An “explosion index” that measures the prospect’s scores in the 40-yard dash, the vertical jump, and the broad jump in pre-draft workouts.
• Sacks per game, adjusted for factors such as early entry in the NFL draft and position switches during college.
