SPARQ Ratings
-
Kessler was 34.3%
We also have 2 of the top 5 running backs from last year (4) Dan Vitale 96.6% & (5) Darius Jackson 96.2% and just for comparison sake (42) Ezekiel Elliott was at 45.7%
"50.0 percentile would represent a player who rates as a league-average NFL athlete at the position"
From this year running backs Davlin Cook at 9%
I would put SPARQ at 100% in the complete trash rating
whats so hard to believe about Ezekiel Elliot being a slightly below average athlete at the RB position? i didnt think it needed mentioning but these ratings only determine how athletic an athlete is compared to the nfl and is not a measure of guaranteed success but a way of looking at potential. the rating also can't show who knows HOW to use their talents and who does NOT know how to use them. Merely that the talent may be there if a coach can develop it.
And because of his poor SPARQ rating and performance in the combine his stock is not a top 10 pick but of a mid to late round 1 pick if round 1 at all.
No RB has ever been selected in round one with that low of a SPARQ.

Thank you for confirming the SPARQ is 100% complete trash

Actual NFL scouts/evaluators tend to disagree with you as does past precedence and history and statistical evaluation. but hey your completely baseless opinion is probably worth just as much.

Confirming my belief we'all be taking Josh Dobbs.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -
True or False - Josh McCown has the 5th highest Sparq score off all players since 1999.
Absolutely True McCown was an insane athlete at the QB spot. he was drafted in the 3rd round and had more interceptions in his college career than TD and had a comp of 51%

I'd rather take this guy after round 1 than any QB in round 1. Where I live - Tennessee is on TV every week so I've seen a lot of progress from the QB that offered enough promise to entice Nathan Peterman to transfer out (now a draft prospect with a proud resume at Pitt).
His 4 year body of work looks like this:
2013 5 games 695 yds 5.7 ypa 59.5 cmp% 2 TD 6 INT
2014 6 games 1206 yds 6.8 ypa 68.3 cmp% 9 TD 6 INT
2015 13 games 2291 yds 6.7 ypa 59.6 cmp% 15 TD 5 INT
2016 13 games 2946 yds 8.3 ypa 63.0 cmp % 27 TD 12 INT

PITT football and their new coach certainly have the program on an upswing again.
Plus the real test of recruiting and drafting has always been telling the differences between a good player on a good team/program and the better player on a bad team without the gaudy stats.
Makes the NFL Draft the great crap shoot that it is and we love, well better if your team does well.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -
ding ding ding winner! Sparq to me seems like IQ. More of a measure of potential than anything. If you can match high Sparq with someone who's demonstrated they can apply their gifts bingo.Absolutely True McCown was an insane athlete at the QB spot. he was drafted in the 3rd round and had more interceptions in his college career than TD and had a comp of 51%

I've told friends for some time that Trevor Knight should be added to some team's PS to be developed as a SS. Size, speed, athleticism, toughness and very high drive to succeed. I might even consider taking him as a S.T. player in the 53 while he learns the SS position.

Good point! Pitt was the only team that beat Clemson by a score of 43-42, which could have sparked their recruiting even more.

Give McCown 4 years on a decent team and.....
So why not Knight?
WSS

Knight's an H-back. Pasty white guys don't covert to strong safety. JMO

Nebraska QBs used to only go into the pros as safeties. None of them set the world on fire but Scott Frost got a 5 year or so career out of it.

After that, he eventually worked his way into an Offensive Coordinator position at the University of Oregon before the University of Central Florida hired him as their Head Coach presently. Leadership skills sometimes transfer from offense to defense to coaching...

My buddy lives in Orlando and is excited about what Frost is doing with UCF.

Ok throw "nowadays" to the beginning of my previous statement.

Just because it doesn't happen often does not mean it can't happen. Every now and then a John Lynch shows up. He started out in football as a QB, but eventually converted to SS.
And as for nowadays retirement only 10 years ago is close enough to qualify.War will eventually see that when he approaches oh 40-50 or so.
