No, we care about all of it including play strength. But the two jumps and 10 yard split do measure explosiveness.(Oliver obviously destroys Hill in the 10 yard split)
But yeah, as was being said originally Oliver is an athletic freak whereas Hill isnt. Picking the only two test scores that Hill even came close to Oliver at isn't proving otherwise, that's for sure.
actually oliver should destroy hill in the 40 far more than the 10 as their vertical jump explosiveness is about the same.
and the first 10 is where it will matter the most for dt.
and size is going to matter (sorry
@Ranching) for the amount of momentum the ol will have to stop.
however for getting by the c/g, it is really the first 1 to 2 yards that matter most.
and that is where the vertical jump measure comes in.
vertical jump - around the same -
advantage hill in the most important penetration test
broad jump, shuttle - oliver is better incrementally as expected from weight -
~even
cone - oliver is much better -
advantage oliver
bench - oliver is incrementally better -
this score can readily be improved by players
