  1. Works at Ceiling Biosciences in Austin (according to LinkedIn).
  2. Without a doubt. It makes a world of difference, especially in such a short distance (like on a football field).
  3. Haha I’m more of a spread guy than player projections, to be honest. However, I’ve done pretty well on PrizePicks here lately!
  4. Thank you!
  5. Most definitely. I think it says a lot about him, to your point about moving to safety. I’m with Rod on this one. I also have data on Christian Jones and T’Vondre Sweat (Zebra hooked me up!), so I’ll make a separate post today about them. I haven’t got to do a deeper dive into the Senior Bowl analytics yet like I did with the Shrine Bowl.
  6. I’ll take it one step further. Watts was also Top 5 in explosive efforts. Zebra defines an “explosive effort” as: Count of “high” accelerations and “high” decelerations a player achieves in a practice/game. A “high acceleration/deceleration is achieved when a player reaches at least ±3.5 YD/S².
  7. Watts is actually Top 10 in deceleration. Here’s the list of Shrine Bowl DBs with the fastest deceleration speed: So he is very quick at stopping and changing direction.
  8. Bobby responded faster than I did, but there’s the numbers behind what I was telling Bobby about yesterday. Watts definitely has quicker deceleration, however. I’ll address that in the next post below.
  9. So I actually dug into this yesterday. Here’s the three fastest players from the Shrine Bowl: 1. Tyler Owens 2. AJ Woods 3. Ryan Watts You can see their times here: However, now let’s look at max acceleration times. Zebra Sports (who gave me all this data) defines Maximum acceleration as: yards per second per second (YD/S²) a player achieves during a practice/game. This stat can indicate players that are able to start/stop quickly and change direction. The higher the number, the better. Here’s the top five from just DBs: And here is Ryan Watts: So, as you can see, he’s 27th in acceleration. While he has pretty good top end speed it’s just taking forever to get there.
  10. Good stuff, Bobby. Yesterday’s news was huge for a number of reasons. It’s going to be interesting to follow and see how it all unfolds in the end.
