Grade Categories

Top

The results of the Body Measurements and Physical Tests are used to determine a player's score in five grade categories: Size, Speed, Quickness, Strenght and Final Test Grade.

Category Basis for Scoring
Size Size Grade is based on Height/Weight measurements
Speed Speed Grade is based on BEST 40 time
Quickness Quickness Grade is based on BEST Short Shuttle time
Strength Strength Grade is based on Bench Press AND Vertical Jump results
Final Test Grade (FTG) FTG is an Average of Size, Speed, Quickness and Strength grades. Players with an FTG equal to or greater than 8.00 are Pro-Rated. Players with an FTG of 8.60 or higher with qualifying drill performances and 40 times qualify to attend the ELITE National Combine.

Minimum Pro Standards

Top

For each graded category the minimum pro standard equals a grade of 8.00. Performances better than the minimum pro standard will achieve a score between 8.01 and 10.00, while performances below the minimum pro standard will fall between 7.99 and 5.00.

Players who achieve an FTG of 8.00 or greater are inlcuded in the Pro-Rated Players List and have streaming combine video included in their online database profile. Players are NOT required to meet all standards of size, speed, quickness and strength to qualify as long as their FTG is at least an 8.00.

The table below provides the minimum pro standards by position for each combine test.
