Very true. Hard to measure intangibles like football IQ, heart and competitiveness as well.
Too much emphasis put on stats alone at the combine imo. Great talent evaluators are able to fill in the gaps with great intangibles and get solid football players. Which is why the future seems so bright Currently with Scot, (tho Breeland was not his pick). Or maybe he was on his list, as they were using his evaluations during his year off...It's a funny thing, I have watched kids like the brothers who play WR at MD when they were in our program and we have a CB at Hawaii they ran free and easy all the time clock or no clock. Navorro Bowman could run like the wind since he was a little kid, put a clock on him and he slows down. My nephews; one is big and slow but he slows down more on the clock. The other nephew is a RB, he looks like a turtle when he is being timed but in the game he is much quicker. I think Breeland's 40 time wasn't that good but you don't see it on the field.
Right?
