  • (Draft-Related)-Scout.com: Quick-Twitch Athletes

    Found this interesting. This is from a former scout, who states that athletes with a greater amount of quick-twitch muscle fiber are likely to see greater success in the NFL. He doesn't give as much weight to the bench press and such, as he says that a better indicator of this trait is the vertical and long jumps. He goes on to list the top 100 vertical jumps at the Combine. FWIW, RB Donald Brown is 5th, tied with three others with a vertical of 41.5" and TE Jared Cook is 11th, tied with two others at 41".

    I see that Harvin is well down on the list, with a vertical jump of 37.5 inches. His performance would have no doubt been better if they had dangled a blunt 5 feet over his head.
