- The NFL Combine can make or break a player's draft status. Perform well at the combine and NFL teams may take a chance on you. So which players have dominated the NFL Combine? Let's find out.
The data used in this video was scraped from www.mockdraftable.com/. There are a few pieces of logic that exclude certain combine performances (i.e. pro day results are not considered valid). If you want to take a look at the Python code, let me know in the comments and I can send you a link to the repository.

2:47 Lane Johnson
5:28 Jerick Mckinnon
8:53 Vic Beasley
10:42 The Underwear Olympics
The fact that Anthony Richardson was able to leave such an impression with only 3 events is crazy
If AR stays healthy watch out he had 7 total tds in 2.5 games.
I mean, those three events would be easier to specialize in than to pick 3 events like bench press, 40yd dash, and 3 cone drill for example.
He is made of broken glass.
@@user-ee1fn4vt8bhe would almost certainly be in the same percentile range in those as well since it’s measured against players in your position. All his performance tells you is that he is one of the most athletic quarterbacks, which is no surprise.
@@pawrestlingchampThis is the first time he’s ever been hurt. Stop it.
The quality is insane for a small creator, I only realized that this wasn’t a big “documentary” channel when someone said it in the comments
It's probably AI. We won't know the difference
It's still really good though
@@user-qh3lw4xe4i At the moment AI is still very obvious, I saw a video on a game made half and half by ai and the guy and it was so obvious.
RuneScape background music is crazyyyy work
I’m glad someone commented on this, I was about to 😂
for reall and the sound of teleporting lol
I was looking for this lmao
I'm literally playing OSRS as I watch this and am glad I wasn't the only one who noticed ahaha
SEA SHANTY 2 AND BARBARIANISM ARE THE BEST TRACKS STR8 FIRE
Lane Johnson, at 6 foot 6 inches (198 cm), 303 pounds (138 kg), runs a 4.72 40-yard dash. Without athletic context, that's simply terrifying. :O
So does Jordan Davis.
Love to see him play rugby
Prob juiced in college, got caught couple yrs ago
@@barrybondshomerunking6778lmao
@@barrybondshomerunking6778all of them are juiced to the gills
Based on this, McKinnon might be the most athletic running back in combine history. I would have never thought that. 32 reps at 209 lbs. is crazy.
I'd still give it to Bo Jackson. Bo was faster, and probably not that far off in strength.
@@gabrielrockmanwell Bo didn’t attend the NFL combine so no, it doesn’t go to Bo
I love how you visualize the data. Too often people are only good are crunching numbers or presentation and you nailed both!
Elite music choice
Phenomenal video. I will say, Vic Beasley was elite for one (1) season. That's it, sure, but that one season was spectacular.
He just didn’t care about football. Crazy to think what he could have been
Vic Beasley was insaneeeee
Jake Witt, OL for the Colts had arguably the greatest statistical pro day in history. At 6'7", 300 lbs, he had a 37 inch vert, 10'3" broad jump, and his RAS was the 11th best ever. Wasn't even invited to the combine, highly recommend looking into his story.
That's impressive, might have to add pro day numbers to this analysis at some point
He went to my college and our football team is incredibly bad so it was pretty cool to see him do so well
Jelani Woods is another Colts player. In 2022, he scored an RAS of 10. In 2023, Zack Kuntz scored an RAS of 10.
RAS scores also take size into account. Lane Johnson scored an RAS of 9.96. Taylor Lewan scored an RAS of 10. I think Lewan scored higher because he weighed a few pounds more than Johnson.
Love that you ended with how the combine results don’t relate to pro greatness.
The quality of this vid is top notch, can keep up with the big documentary style creators.
The production quality of this video is insane. Well done!
Great work on this. One of the things that caught my eye was the older combine performers that completed all events. Jason Peters still is an OT to this day at 42yo.
Vernon Davis went crazy, I remember that
I was just going to type this. Niners took him in the 1st rnd because of his combine. I am wondering if he lumped TE's with WR's. Dude ran a 4.4 40 coming in at 6' 3: 253 lbs.
@@byronsmith3152 he ran a 4.38
@@guynoir5968 Was that the official time? I remember watching it live and every one was floored.
Damn I love getting recommended random channels and finding gold. This is great content and I hope soon enough you receive the recognition you deserve
Love the beginning when you define dominance in your terms great set up for an amazing video.
The quality of this video is insane, the representation of statistics and information is beautiful. Keep up the good work! You'll make it big someday.
Amazing vid!! Keep up the amazing work! I actually went to the same High School as McKinnon and had no idea about his dominant combine performance!!
glad the algo showed me this video. Your content is great. Keep going, you'll blow up soon!
This is a great vid. Keep up the good work!
Feels like I'm watching a Baseball Bits video but its Football😂. I mean that in the best way possible, amazing work man.
great breakdown!
Halfway through I thought I was watching a Secret Base video, great quality work!
Excellent video, well presented aand explained. Hope to see more.
Dropping a comment for the algorithm. This is excellence stuff from such a small creator.
Now this is how you present data - what an incredible video
Wow. Amazing statistical analysis and presentation.
Like many, I was expecting you to have 100,000+ subscribers. Everyone has gotta start at zero.
Keep it up. Sky is the limit for you.
Great video, reminded me of Jon Bois videos at times. Keep up the great work!
Really good statistical analysis bro keep it up
Great content! Great presentation.
great video. Awesome visualizations!
Excellent video. Subscribed. Keep it up.
Awesome video! Hope you find success in this.
Damn, this is great content, I can't believe you have less than 1000 subscribers
Great video bro!
Amazing video keep up the good work
The music in the background of video brought back such nostalgia from my childhood. All of the songs are from my favorite game of all time!! Next video, use Sea Shanty 2!
The RuneScape music is so strange to hear in a football video
This is literally film-worthy. Fantastic.
the data visualisation, the storytelling, the edition, the video writing, the music. This video indeed had a dominant performance
Cozy thought this was something from ESPN, not a newer creator. Exceptionally well done fren! Cozy subscribe.
Really cool stuff, you put a lot of effort and love into this and it really shows.
This man earned my subscription.
great job with this
Great video! I grinded from 85 to 87 slayer on my ironman over the last three days. Was trying to get my mind off runescape... the algorithm led me here lol. Pretty sure KTO plays rs, I bet he'd be down for some godwars or something like that. Overall fantastic video, subbed
Thanks for the sub man, lmk if you want some of your armor trimmed
The OSRS music really hit during this NFL video 😂😂😂
Very very well made!
great vid keep it up!!
great analysis
Runescape background music is a instant subscribe in my book
This was an awesome presentation... statistics presented well, narrated well...top 98th percentile for me.
I love this statistical analysis. This with other sports would be incredible
Sick video!!!
Love the Runescape music. Could listen to you talk about anything with that on in the background :)
I like your editing style, I hope you’re compensated
Thanks!
Love the runescape music and sound effects used
I love how you’re using RuneScape music 😂😂😂
Yo this is a great vid. Even crazier with a Chanel with less than 1000 subs. Got my sub
Love the “Secret Base” video style
Great vid
Played with Jerick at Georgia Southern. Obviously crazy athlete but genuinely a good dude as well. One of those guys you're happy for his success. He was also the only one to out-rep me on the bench during testing. 32 for him, 30 for me. I'll take that small consolation prize anytime 😅
Hell yeah that’s an accomplishment. You kept up with a top 1% strength nfl running back.
@@cgpxae2119 thanks man! Yeah I always point out that he is the elite NFL athlete and I was just a division 1 level guy with a couple standout strengths. To be in the same weight room and not get totally embarrassed by a guy like him was enough to have stories for my grandkids some day 😂
I seen one our hometown NFL players as the thumbnail Vic Beasley so I had to watch lol
Unreal man. Reminds me of foolishbaseball. earned my sub
I feel like Calvin Johnson has to be close to 3rd. Great video btw
6'5, 240 lbs, 4.35 40 yard dash, 42.5 inch vertical. This video sucks. Excluding players that don't compete in every event ruins the list.
I was thinking Bo Jackson, Aaron Donald, and Calvin Johnson for my guesses for the top 3.
@@gabrielrockman Bo Jackson didn’t run his supposed 40 time at the nfl combine.
@@chick3nmp693 Yeah, I didn't know if he did the combine (or even if they did the combine back then) or if we have scores for how he performed in all six events. I didn't realize before watching the video how recently people started doing all six events at the combine.
Seems damn near like KTO video. LLike everyone is saying, amazing video man. Love it
great video
Excellent
Aaron Curry was combine freak. Went 3rd over-all to Seattle. Bust city
Great video! I don’t know how you only got 500 subscribers, but I’m a new one that’s for sure.
The Combine is probably most important for the interviews with teams and certain categories do matter to a different degree for position groups. It’s nice to see that someone is a great straight line athlete, but that’s rarely that important on a football field. What’s more important for scouts is probably guys that put up great tape, to also flash Desiree athletic traits.
Every year we have these combine warriors who get overdrafted and simply can’t get on the field or never live up to their potential.
As someone who does not really follow football it would have been interesting to get a short recap of each players career after the draft. Other than that, great video!
Nice vid
Fantastic video! About halfway through the video I started wondering to myself: okay, but does any of this actually translate to real-world performance? I was going to try and get your data and run a quick regression model regressing your scores on some advanced performance metric for each player but right as I was thinking about that, you end up answering that question in a much more straightforward and intuition way.
Jerrick was the QB at Ga Southern and was top 10 in FCS in rushing. My freshman year we played them game 1 and he was an absolute DOG. Somehow we ended up splitting conference with them
Ya crazy. Really shows how much of a dawg AP was to be so much better than this athletic freak.
Incredible video, I’ll definitely be sharing with friends! Love the OSRS music/effects!
Subbed for RuneScape back ground music
Runescape music, subscribed
Wouldnt mind a Pro-Day "alleged" Performances video after this masterpiece 👌 ✨️ 👏
Adam Archuleta, in 2001, benched 225 31 times as a safety (record at the time)
This is such an incredibly well done video. Major props. Keep making these.
Honestly as an eagles fan. Our offensive line over the years has been full of athletic freaks. Lane moves like a gazelle but can push back the best d lineman. Jason peters when he was younger I saw literally pick up our running back and carry him into a TD. Jordan mailata is 6’8’ like 340 and is athletic as fuck due to rugby. Modern day o lineman are unreal. Furthermore, top notch video my guy. Very well done!
Runescape music? Football analytics? Yeah I'm in
Keep them coming man!! Great content
It'd be interesting ro highlight guys thought to have dominant combines, how they ranked in your system and what maybe held them back. Vernon Davis and DK Metcalf come to mind. Byron Jones ran a 4.36 and set the World Record for broad jump at 12'3" at the 2015 NFL Comvine.
RuneScape music 🎉love it
Combine results + tape = best way to gauge a players NFL readiness
This was dope you should do Rb WR TE by they self
Clicked on this video by accident and I was gonna exit, but then I heard the OSRS medley playing and I was hooked.
First of all, great work. I know gathering some of this data from 20+ years ago is tricky. But I think there are 2 glaring omissions in the big boy category. Below I'll compare Lane Johnson against JJ Watt and Lane's teammate Evan Mathis. I think they compare favorably, and perhaps even eclipse the athletic beast that he is.
Mathis
6'5 - 304
40YD - 4.96
Bench - 35 reps
Vert - 34"
Broad - 117"
3 cone - 7.37
20 shuttle - 4.16
-----
Lane Johnson
6'6 - 303
40YD - 4.72
Bench - 28 reps
Vert - 34"
Broad - 118"
3 Cone - 7.31
20 shuttle - 4.52
-----
JJ Watt
6'5 - 290
40YD - 4.91
Bench - 34 reps
Vert - 38"
Broad - 120"
3 Cone - 6.88
20 shuttle - 4.21
Oh man, Evan Mathis might've gotten snubbed. On my data source (MockDraftable), there wasn't a number for Mathis' 3-cone drill. Some other sources, including the one you used, have 7.37 as his 3-cone drill. If my source had his 3-cone drill at 7.37, that would've vaulted him into 1st place at a 97.83, ahead of Beasley. Appreciate the call out.
@@Full_Draft There was a site called 3SigmaAthlete (if I recall correctly), that used a version of the SPARQ metrics. I used to follow that religiously while it was being updated, that's the only reason I know.
I love this type of stuff and will follow the channel moving forward. Thanks for the quality work. As far as I know, that site is still up and running, but no longer updated. It's a good source.
Chris Jones had a ballsy combine, really showed everything he had to offer.
I say the most impactful thing to a player's success in the NFL besides their pure interest in the game is having the opportunity to be drafted by the right team at the right time. If players have a mentor right away and have a scheme that fits them, then they will be able to have the opportunity to flourish better and have a less likely event of losing their confidence. If they don't have a rookie season in which too much pressure isn't placed on them due to decent depth on the team, I believe this helps a player develop better in my opinion. Too much pure talent gets screwed over by playing an incorrect position or playing too much immediately and skipping the growth over time period. Others don't get the opportunity to showcase what they can really do because they are in the wrong fit too! With some slow developers, they are drafted by teams that don't have much talent and too much of is expected from them right away and the growing pains messes with their psyche. Of course, much of this depends on staying healthy as well! On the other hand, most of this could be a bunch of horse-shit because I've never been in this position to know anything other than emperical (observational) experience!
Came for the combine stats and stayed for the Runescape music. ❤❤
I remember Dontari Poe being a combine freak. I doubted the draft pick but he ended up performing pretty well.
Great video, although I wish buddy had mentioned who was the tackle that broke Lane’s record in 2018, etc. like give me the names of the people you’re referring to, and not just their place on the list. Helps personify the chart, so it isn’t just a chart, ya know?
It would be interesting to correlate Wonderlick (sp?) scores and the Combine, as you did for the combine alone. I'm wondering if there is a sweet spot, or if there is any correlation to these two tests, one physical, one mental, and success in the NFL?
As a Falcons fan, MOST of this video is amazing! The other part...
Could you please send the python code or send a link to a got repository if you have one. Awesome video and the data is very intriguing!
Of course, here's the repo containing the code I used to scrape most of the data used in this video: github.com/FullDraftYT/dominant-combine.
The problem with this analysis is it doesn't work for some positions. For example, outside linebackers could be pass rushers or coverage linebackers. Pass rushers will be stronger and coverage guys will be faster. This skews the percentiles for this entire position. OLBs are unlikely to have a high percentile score because there are very different styles of players within the same position.
Also, some positions have more amazing athletes on average, making it more difficult for them to have a high percentile score. For example, there are a lot of world class athletes at linebacker and wide receiver. So, a dominant combine performance is unlikely to be showcased by a player at these positions, even if their combine performance was better in all 6 categories than someone of another position. However, QBs are usually less athletic, making it easier for their performance to be showcased.
Overall, great video and really cool presentation of the scores! The quality of video was really good!
Definitely, and the source I used (MockDraftable) actually does account for at least some of these position distinctions. There were different classifications for ILBs, OLBs, Centers, HBs, FBs, etc. So some of these position changes were factored in.
If you wanna take a look at the full list here's a link to the Sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1R_nt57Q0jE2kfV6c9y3fur1R38F1X9N5qFEx6pgpHXo/edit#gid=485806509.
Take a look at RAS. It accounts for position, height, weight etc.
For example, Vic Beasley has a lower RAS than Rashan Gary for the same position even though Beasley's combine numbers are very slightly better. Both are among the best ever in RAS. Gary doing what he did while weighing over 30 lbs more and being taller is more likely to translate to production at the NFL level which RAS accounts for.
Lmao I thought I was tripping hard af when I hear osrs music I’m like yo I need to chill from playing lol
This is so well done thank you.
Full Draft, keep going fam. Excellent quality, info, and pace/rhythm in your speaking. Much respect from Charleston #843Eastside 💯
Let's also compare Jerick McKinnon with Christine Michael. They were definitely different type of athletes, but both remarkable in different ways. Jerick was definitely faster, and a bit stronger. While Christine was more agile, with their explosiveness being fairly close, while being the bigger back.
Jerick McKinnon
5'9 - 209
40YD - 4.41
VERT - 40.5"
BROAD - 132"
BENCH - 32 reps
3 CONE - 6.83
20 SHUTTLE - 4.12
-------
Christine Michael
40YD - 4.54
VERT - 43"
BROAD - 125"
BENCH - 27 reps
3 CONE - 6.69
20 SHUTTLE - 4.02
Christine Michael was solid, and finished 17th using the formula I used in this video. That 40 yard dash really screwed him over though. Exclude that 40-yard dash time, and he would've been top 5.
Jerrick always been underrated. Always a fan of his cus he went to GSU.
