*MSA Rating: The average score of a prospect’s market share production, strength of schedule and age percentile scores

*Explosive Lower Body Strength Score: A score formulated from a prospect’s vertical, broad jump and mass density measured against all his positional peers since 1998.

*Speed Score: A score formulated from a prospect’s 40-yard dash and mass density measured against all his positional peers since 1998.

*Flexibility Score: A score formulated from a prospect’s short shuttle, 3-Cone and mass density measured against all his positional peers since 1998.

 

Metric Analysis: Caleb Brantley has a solid profile as a starting defensive tackle. He has some above average production and athleticism traits. But there are not enough quality indicators in his profile to indicate a player who will ever be a high-quality lineman. Brantley also has more in common with 320-pound nose tackles production wise than 300 pound 3-tech does. Thus, I’d project as a backup to long-term starter only.
