Explosiveness Rating

Last year, I thought up a formula that would put all of the "explosiveness" numbers (10 yard time, vertical jump, and broad jump), and body weight, together to create a rating for each player. There were only 245 players at the combine that did all of those tests. Here's this year's Top 100:

Johnson's resume is hard to knock. He is coming out as a junior, though, which means he could have some room to improve on the nuances of the game, particularly with route running and blocking.
