Is Darius Robinson not at the combine? I've seen some buzz around him in Niners draft circles.

He got hurt on that run. Thought it was a groin but apparently hip flexor. Hopefully not serious

He's hard to judge. He's a ball hawk and a PD machine but he also plays in a gimmick defense which is basically cover 4 every down and he's like 10 yards off the LOS when he's doing it.

Kam Kinchens tested terribly. Probably cost him a round or two in the draft unless he was testing while injured or something like that.

Ben Sinnott had incredible numbers.

I don’t know what any of the draftniks think but I would love for Sinnott to be around for the Chiefs to draft. Combo FB/TE in college.

The hate surrounding Caleb Williams is absurd and a combination of racism and homophobia with a dash of toxic masculinity. The comment section in my TikTok on him is disgusting.

It compares athletes scores on the measurement drills against past performances. It's fine to look at but people have to remember that all athletes are bigger, faster, and stronger as the years go by as well as having better diets and training regimes.

The big problem with them is that they're clickbaity and ignore the whole actually looking at the prospect aspect.

It just takes the combine data and references it to position and height / weight.

It's not doing anything but telling you how a player rates at combine drills compared to his peers since 2000.

I think someone made the point in this thread that there has always been a search for a magic number. Some value or drill result that could tell you if a prospect will work out.

I'm guessing RAS can be useful in confirming how you feel about someone's natural ability but, outside of that, I dunno.

I don't think I've ever seen RAS used to the point of someone saying "Well, [Player X] had a 9.84 and [Player Y] had a 9.32 so my preference is [Player X]". Seems like it's mostly just a shorthand for going "This guy is a (very good/average/below-average) athlete for his position" and gathering all the combine testing numbers in one place
