RAS cards for Packers’ 13-player draft class in 2023
The Green Bay Packers selected another highly athletic class of draft picks in 2023.
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.
