Athleticism is the one thing you can't coach. SPARQ measures it.
SPARQ is a composite athleticism score combining NFL Combine measurements — speed, explosion, strength, and agility — into a single number.
Each player is then ranked by
σ (sigma): how far above or below average they are
for their position, relative to every NFL draftee since 1999.
+2σ ELITE top ~2% of all-time.
+1σ GREAT top 16%.
0σ GOOD top half.
−1σ AVERAGE historical median.
−2σ BELOW AVG not a freak.
A +2σ OT and a +2σ WR are equally rare for their position.
