The NFL Draft Scouting Combine is in full swing, with player interviews continuing and on-field testing entering its second day. Day one saw testing completed by the defensive linemen, linebackers, and edge rushers. One of those positions is a need for the Vikings as they look to solidify their defensive front alongside Harrison Phillips.
One tool we have to identify draft targets for the team is their relative athletic score, or RAS, as it is commonly known.
Kent Lee Platte has been creating these for every player entering the NFL for several years now. It is a practice that is universally respected and used by media and teams alike. All of the scores from present testing and years past can be found on his website.
After day one of the scouting combine, we have found some players with the RAS score that matches what Kwesi Adofo-Mensah looks for in defensive linemen.
Defensive Linemen with a RAS Score of 4.92 or better
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has drafted defensive linemen with an average RAS score of 4.92. We have all the players who generated a score higher than that, as they would fit what they are looking for in terms of testing.
Note: We will not be including players who did not complete enough testing or skipped testing in general at the combine.
