I feel like RAS score doesnt correlate to RB success very well...

Like... I dont really care about a RBs 40 time except that its fast enough they wont be getting run down from behind.

Other than that... give me someone with elite vision and the lower body strength to run through contact.
Fair points. But it is fun to watch players with elite athletic traits.

I view ras as more about meeting a threshold vs the actual score.

Like once an RB is above a 9 it does not matter after that. The difference between a 9 and a 9.5 means very little to nothing at all. The difference between 8.5 and 9 matters more.

And that's only of a player elects to do the drills. For example Bucky Irving only got a 3 something last year while you got guys in the 9s like Trey Benson/MarShawn Lloyd. Not shitting on Benson/Lloyd but Irving is the better back.
