The Green Bay Packers selected another athletic class in the 2024 NFL draft. How do we know it’s another athletic class? Relative Athletic Score (RAS). What’s Relative Athletic Score? It’s a metric developed by Kent Lee Platte. The idea is simple: RAS measures a prospect’s athletic testing results from the combine or a pro day in relation to the prospect’s size and historical results from players at the same position. It’s a genius way of combining all the relative factors into one simple metric on a 10-point sliding scale. Here’s a quick look through at the RAS cards for all 1 ..read more

Three of the Green Bay Packers’ first eight picks in the 2024 NFL draft were spent on the safety position, and there are two characteristics that stand out as common traits among this group: versatility and their aggressive play style.

Javon Bullard an ..read more
