Quote:I think you might be wrong. Fowlers 10 yd split which is the most important for an edge rusher was 1.56 and finished with a 4.6 40.


Houston had a 1.62 10 yd split and finished with a 4.68 40. As for Houston being bigger they are the same height while Houston weighs just 5 lbs more. I think the comp holds water and I definitely wouldn't call it a "bad example".

 

way to cherry-pick measurables.

 

Who says the 10-yard split is the most important?  If anything, I've heard the 3-cone drill is the most important because it shows whether you can change directions/bend well.

 

the vertical, broad jump, bench press, and most importantly, the 3-cone drill, are all in favor of Houston, who measured at 6'3" and 270lbs with 34 1/2" arms.
