Discover the top 1% of propsects with elite in-game athleticism
An athlete with rare traits (innate athletic ability, functional speed, functional strength, raw power, instincts and functional size) can be defined as a 'freak athlete'. These high-ceiling, potentially high-impact athletes, can offer teams a significant matchup advantage that contribute to wins if the talent is developed. Freak athletes aren't always best players or major contributors on a team, in part because traditional athletic metrics (40-yard dash, short-shuttle, 3-cone, standing broad jump, vertical jump, etc.) aren't measured in a game environment.
By measuring the raw functional athleticism of successful NFL players in a game environment, Reel Analytics has redefined the traits found in 'freak athletes'. As a result of this data, our clients have access to our exclusive Reel Freak List, which features the top 1% of prospects with elite in-game athleticism. Here are the athletes who made the list in 2023.
