Ever since the Atlanta Falcons hired general manager Terry Fontenot and head coach Arthur Smith in 2021, the roster has been constructed with an emphasis on physicality and versatility.
As NFL teams look for different ways to maximize the draft, innovative metrics are playing a greater role. Relative Athletic Score has become one of the most useful tools for evaluating a player’s athleticism. It combines different prospect data to generate an overall athletic score from 0-10.
Now that the 2023 NFL draft is in the books, let’s check out the RAS scores for each Falcons draft pick and undrafted free agent signing.
