Denzel Mims turned in a fantastic performance at the 2020 NFL combine. Besides displaying better than 50th percentile agility and explosion that eclipsed the 75th percentile, Mims ran the forty-yard dash at a 93rd percentile time of 4.38 seconds. The former Baylor Bear stands 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 207 pounds. This translates to a freak score of 73, well above the 75th percentile.[1]Freak Score is our scaled metric that uses height, weight, and speed to project the TD-scoring potential for NFL prospects. Unlike many other measures for an NFL prospect’s size/athleticism profile, the Freak Score gives us a measure that directly relates to an important element of fantasy scoring. If you aren’t adjusting for the importance of height, then you’re missing the critical element.
Of course, athleticism only tells half of the story and in no way guarantees NFL success.
