One thing I've always known, but learned recently many have no clue of is that missing measurables CAN and DO impact the formulas used in any athletic testing measurement - RAS being arguably the most refined one IMO.
In case that didn't make sense to anyone let me share what I mean with one of my personal favorite Day 2 off ball linebackers Cedric Gray.
If you look up the most current RAS Card for Cedric Gray you're going to get:
Now here's what I mean. Say Gray's camp chose to not do any bench testing at all....
Now what if they chose to not do shuttle:
The more variables you enter into a formula the more refined it becomes. Numerous folks cross off or add on guys to a list strictly because of RAS....however base nothing on how much confidence to lay in it? Are there variables missing.....are there variables which a certain position seems to be preferred for a certain position (example GB really prefers the shuttle it seems for their OL as an indicator).
Just wanted to throw this out there.
