Hey, the NFL season starts in less than a week so you know what everyone wants to read about? Scouting models!
I know that this isn’t the most opportune time for posting a new metric to analyze players combine numbers in terms future production, but this idea seemed to be one worth pursuing. The idea behind the PowerBurst index is pretty simple. We want big, athletic and stronger players, but we also want them to be fast. What’s the best way to measure that? We already have Football Outsiders’ Speed Score, which combines weight and speed into one number; that number neglects other elements of athleticism, namely burst and strength. The PowerBurst Index is a players Speed Score, Bench Press, Vertical Leap and Broad Jump all added into one metric.
I haven’t standardized the number yet (again, we are very close to the NFL season) but if we see elements of it being predictive, it will enter into my work next offseason when ranking and predicting prospects. I created 3 tables, one for RB’s, WR’s, TE’s using data from 2008. The tables utilize the data available from NFLcombineresults.com. Contact me with any questions on twitter, @davismattek.
