Steelers RAS Draft History (2010-2021)

Today I wanted to provide data on the Pittsburgh Steelers draft history since 2010. The goal of the article is to point out trends by position using draft position and relative athletic scores (RAS) and see what that could mean for this years’ draft. To qualify for a RAS score, a player must have a total of six recorded metrics from any of the following: Height, Weight, Forty-yard dash, Twenty-yard split, Ten-yard split, Bench Press, Vertical Jump, Broad Jump, Short Shuttle, and 3-Cone. The player is then graded on each in comparison to the positional database since 1987 to get more of a feel of their size, speed, explosion, agility, and total value, giving context to the raw numbers.
