Who Is The Guy That Does Power And Explosiveness?

[Hoofbite]

I can't remember that guys name right now but for the last two years, he put out a power and explosiveness article at NFL.com

He uses the combine numbers and comes up with some number that is supposed to represent how much power and explosiveness a player has. Usually a score in 80s is pretty damn good if I remember right.

You guys gonna know what Im talking about.

I think the equation is broad jump + vertical jump + bench reps and any score above 70 is considered very good...if memory serves. This year it looks like Jake Long scored about a 73 while RBs Johnathan Stewart and Thomas Brown both broke 70 as well, I believe Barber broke 70 at the combine too.

edit: after looking at the numbers, Barber scored a 70.5

Correct. To calculate a players number, add his bench reps, vertical leap and broad jump numbers. Just remember to convert a players leap and jump numbers to decimal (ie. a jump of 10' 4'' is 10.3 and NOT 10.4).

Kirwan's formula was beyond stupid.
