Who is really good at football, but not athletic by NFL standards? NFL and Draft Prospects?

[Chaos]

Some NFL players are great at football and have great athletic measurables, among all-pros Lane Johnson and Patrick Surtain have the best "measurables".  Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams have pretty poor measureables.   

This spreadsheet aligns all of the all-pro players RAS scores vs their Bills counterpart. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uygV0zc33qOS74JEx40meuIKOg-MhDssyil_rbTvFBA/edit?usp=sharing


 SIDE NOTE. Every offensive all-pro has below elite height.  I found that interesting.  

I am curious as too who people think are the best NFL players who are good at football, despite poor measurables, with the same question for the 2023 draft prospects?

Looking back, Steve Largent supposedly only ran a 4.8 forty in college and yet became one of the NFL's best-ever receivers.

Aaron Donald of course. In the past John Randle and London Fletcher stick out

Donald's RAS Score is 9.7. He does not have elite size, but has elite stats for every athletic measurable

Ah did not realize you meant by RAS. I thought undersized. How about Steve Smith?

Gotcha. I think it is way to hard to predict. It’s easy to see the athletic upside with some. 

 

Brian Branch. He’s going to be a good to great player.

I feel like Johnson and Branch are going to be very good. Safety is a weird position to try and pinpoint, McDermott has done well in that regard.

Jerry Rice, the best WR of all time, only ran a 4.71.

 

But players did not train for those events like they do now.

Chaos pouring the RAS into the random thread generator!!

Tom Brady.  He couldn't play any other position.

If they could, wouldn’t they be getting ready to run the draft for their NFL employer and not posting on a Bills site

@IronMaidenBills I think this post was directed @ you.  You’ve been MIA…. Did someone read your thread about how awesome you are and hire you to their FO?

Lorenzo Alexander wasn’t the most athletic but he was a stud player. Pure heart and power.
