Data Expert Reveals Stunning RAS Score for Pitt LB

"Absolutely ridiculous Pro Day showcase for Pitt (linebacker) Brandon George (6’2”, 243), one of the most gifted athletes in the class," professional linebackers coach Les Mauro posted from his Linebacker University account on X last week (March 30).

It will be interesting to see how this development will impact George as he waits for NFL opportunities to surface in the near future. So far, the Pennsylvania native had a 30 visit scheduled with the Kansas City Chiefs.

As for the relevance of the RAS score, below is an explanation from profootballnetwork.com regarding the Relative Athletic Score system utilized by scores of reputable networks.

"This evaluation formula — created by Kent Lee Platte — collects a multitude of a player’s testing metrics and physical attributes to generate a score to measure a prospect’s athleticism entering the NFL. The final number is determined by what percentile a player falls relative to their peers at a particular position.

"The highest score a prospect can achieve in this tool is a 10. Prospects are graded on a scale of 1-10 for each contributing factor, which is a great reference point to help determine exactly how a player’s athleticism stacks up against incoming prospects at the same position to help aid the evaluation process."

Over 65 games in a Panthers uniform, George wrapped up his career having recorded 198 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss, four sacks, two interceptions, three pass breakups, a fumble recovery, and three forced fumbles.
