A comment that Mark Tyler made earlier in the week about the Washington’s collective speed at wide receiver got me curious about how the team’s top three receivers compared athletically to the receiver groups on other NFC East teams.
To do that, I’ve collected the Relative Athletic Scores (RAS) for (generally) the top 3 wide receivers on each of the NFC East teams below. RAS is a metric created by Kent Lee Platte that aggregates Combine/Pro Day data into a single metric that describes a players overall athleticism. A grade of “5” would be prospect of average athleticism at the position relative to his peers.
