2013 Draft

Extra Stats Derived From The NFL Scouting Combine Numbers

Posted on

Now that we have all of the drill times and distances in from the 2013 NFL combine we can have a little fun with the numbers. Below is a table that list the offensive linemen, defensive lineman and linebackers. The table shows the height, weight and four other stats that are derived from various combine numbers and I will explain those next.

Keep in mind that the tape trumps everything. This is only a post about playing with the combine results, but it might show you an area of a players game that you might want to go back and watch specifically.

KEI – Kirwan Explosive Index – This is the Pat Kirwan stat that I have written about before several times in the past. This number is derived by adding the vertical jump, broad jump and bench reps together. To convert the broad jump number to work in this formula you merely divide the inches jumped by 12. Kirwan explains in his book that any player with a number over 70 gets his attention.

Formula: Bench + VJ + BJ

LA – Lateral Agility Score -This is a lateral agility stat that I have used for several years and it is derived by subtracting the 20 yard short shuttle time from the 40 yard dash time. The higher the number the more agile the player is thought to be. Whereas a 40, 20 and 10 yard dash measures short, intermediate and long range speed, the short shuttle was designed to measure flexibility, burst and balance.

Formula: 40 Time – 20 S Time

SS – Speed Score – This stat was created by Football Outsiders several years ago. Players with different weights and build will not run the 40 equally and this stat takes that into consideration and is better explained here on ESPN.com.

Formula: (WEIGHT * 200) / (40 Time ^ 4)

LOWX – Lower Explosion – The root of this stat comes from the Kirwan Explosive Index and it focuses more on the lower body power that a player has. It uses the vertical and broad jump numbers and takes into account the players height and weight.

Formula: (VJ+3.5*BJ)*(WEIGHT/HEIGHT)/3000

A few quick observations from the numbers. Linebacker Kevin Minter had a good combine outside of his 40 time. He also didn\’t run the short shuttle, however, and that is one thing scouts will want to see come his pro day.

Southern Mississippi linebacker Jamie Collins also showed great speed and lower body explosion as he nearly jumped out of Lucas Oil Field. His upper body strength, however, is in question thanks to his 19 reps on the bench. It is hard to read into that, however, because he has such long arms which hurts players on the bench.

North Carolina guard Jonathan Cooper had a solid week at the combine and should be a first round pick come April. Is he the top guard now? Alabama guard Chance Warmack will have something to say about that at his pro day.

Add your own observations below of players that you think the Pittsburgh Steelers might have interest in.
