Athletic testing isn’t everything when it comes to winning in the NFL. Quandre Diggs has proven that much. That said, having above-average athleticism certainly doesn’t hurt and the Seattle Seahawks did pretty damn well in this department on Day 2.
Here are the Relative Athletic Scores for the three draft picks Seattle has made tonight.
Pick No. 40: Minnesota EDGE Boye Mafe: 9.91
Boye Mafe was drafted with pick 40 of round 2 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.91 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 14 out of 1503 DE from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/qrORLvPHXn #RAS #Seahawks pic.twitter.com/CP7ivScZEb

The results are always a coinflip at best when it comes to NFL prospects. This is good process, though – even if there’s another early RB.
