I’m a big believer in data. When paired with everything else, data provides us the insights to make informed decisions.
When it comes to NFL draft prospects, data can tell us a lot about a player and their likely output in the future.
But, sometimes the data and the production just don’t match. Sometimes, players come along that buck the trend.
Relative Athletic Score (RAS) is a great way to summarise a player’s size, explosion, speed, and agility. Running on a 0-to-10 scale it’s simple to understand and more times than not it’s a good indicator of a player’s potential.
