Michael Sam didn't impress me much yesterday. So I checked his combine results against others.

 

NFL Network graded Sam as a 5.22 as LB:

4.91 seconds in the 40 yd dash

17 reps on bench press

25.5" vertical

114" broad jump

7.8 seconds 3 Cone drill

 

I then compared his stats to another LB - Devon Kennard (USC):

4.7 seconds in 40 yd dash

23 reps

30" vertical jump

113" Broad jump

7.25 3 Cone drill

Kennard was graded as a 5.1

 

Seems to me Kennard dominated Sam in each workout other than the broad jump. Why the higher grade for a less impressive workout?? Does something more go into their grading system than performance?? Maybe they base the grade on overall performance for the season plus the combine results. Not sure.
