Put a smile on my face, can't wait for the season to start.

That is the worst formula I've ever seen. First of all, Maybin scored higher than Matthews.

But more importantly, practically and mathematically it makes zero sense. Practically, neither the bench press nor the vertical jump measure explosion for a defensive end that well. The bench press is more of a stamina indicator while the vertical jump just The vertical jump isn't all that applicable to a rusher, (they go forward, not up) but somehow these indicators took up the vast majority of the score.
Mathematically it also made no sense. The broad jump differences between players is so miniscule because the difference between a 9 foot jump and an 11 foot jump is huge but only a difference of 2 in the score while 31 reps vs 29 reps is nothing but also a difference of 2 in the score.
Kirwan is in idiot. This makes no sense.
