NFL SCOUTING COMBINE ALL-TIME OFFENSIVE FAB 50 IS VALIDATED BY MEARS RATING SYSTEM!
By Super Scout Max Emfinger
–
It took me about one week of Research to realize how important that the MEARS RATING System has really become. I spent two years working on my Masters Degree in the 1970’s and the only thing that kept me from getting my Masters Degree in Administration was doing my Thesis, but after doing all of this Research on the NFL Scouting Combine, I feel that it could easily qualify me for my Thesis.
My Thesis proved that a Scouting Combine Offensive Player would have to Record the Maximum 400-Points in both of the Speed Measurables to be able to get to the 2,100 MEARS RATING Plateau.
For about 14 Years, I have been Rating and Ranking High School Football Players and College Football Players with my MEARS RATING System, that I developed just after leaving the Dallas Cowboys in 1976. In all of those years, I have Tweaked it a few times, but the Standard MEARS Formula has never changed.
–
My MEARS RATING SYSTEM or a similar type rating system is very important for the NFL Scouts, and the NFL Scouting Combine is the first time that “Accurate Numbers” are recorded on these players. It’s easy to say someone can run a 4.4 or a 4.3 in the Forty, but before an Accurate Hand-Held Timing by a Professional Scout or either by a slower, but Accurate Laser Timing is done, most Forty times are less than Accurate. Technique is also very important and that is why College Football Players entering the NFL Draft will hire a Sports Trainer to train them and teach them how to do a Vertical Jump, Pro-Agility Shuttle, Standing Broad Jump, and yes, the correct way to run a Forty.
–
Before I implemented my MEARS RATING SYSTEM again in 2001, I decided that I needed to Tweak it a little more and so I asked one of my old friends to help.
–
“Max, we have got to set a Medium Standard for each position for every Measurable that we test at a Super Combine,” said Legendary University of Nebraska Strength Coach Boyd Epley; and then we worked on setting Medium Standards for each position. “The Medium Standard for an Offensive Tackle, for example, has been 6-5 and 275 for twenty-five years and although the players are getting bigger, stronger, and faster, we don’t need to keep changing the Medium Standard, said Coach Epley, “but our Ratings will continue to get higher as the players will achieve to get bigger, stronger, and faster.”
–
So each position has a Medium Standard for each Measurable. In all of the Speed Measurables, a player will get plus points for every tenth of a second over the Position Standard, but a Maximum of 400-Points. The Vertical Jump will have a Maximum of 300-Points; while the Bench Press Reps will have a Max 200 Points.
–
This year, at my Tenth Annual All-American Bowl Game Classic, all of my Players were Rated and Ranked in order, by Team, on my Big Board in the Hotel Lobby. After the first couple of practices, some of my Coaches came to me and recommend that certain players on the Big Board be “Upgraded” to the next Ranking or Color in the Color-Coded MEARS Rating System.
–
So I decided to Tweak the MEARS RATING System, one more time. I decided to give an Extra 50-Point Bonus to all of the players who needed to be Re-Rated-Up to the Next Level, but with a Maximum 100-Points and with this new Tweak, all of the College Players in their NFL Scouting Combines have been Re-Rated with this 100-Point Bonus. I did this because all of these great Scouting Combine Players would get an Extra 100-Points from any and all of the Coaches who had Coached them. Plus, I have read many of the NFL Scouts Evaluation on them.
NFL Scouting Combine Highlights Athletic QB’s and Athletic Offensive Linemen!
–
We all thought that the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine had the best Offensive Linemen that we had ever seen, but we just needed to wait one more year, until the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine. If you will remember! The 2013 NFL Scouting Combine had three Offensive Linemen who broke a Five-Flat Forty, including Lane Johnson of Oklahoma with a 4.72 Forty; Terron Armstrong of Little Rock Pine Bluff with a 4.71 Forty; and Kyle Long of Oregon with a 4.9 Forty.
–
In the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, at least Five Scouting Combine Players ran better than a 5.0 Flat Forty, including Taylor Lewan of Michigan with an Official 4.85 Forty; Greg Robinson of Auburn with an Official 4.87 Forty; Trai Turner of LSU with an Official 4.93 Forty; Joel Bitonio of Nevada with an Official 4.97 Forty; and Matt Patchan of Boston College with an Official 4.97 Forty. Jake Matthews of Texas A&M also ran a 4.91 Forty; Xavier Su’a-Fila of UCLA ran a 4.94 Forty; and Brandon Thomas of Clemson ran a 4.97 Forty.
–
A lot of observers were not even aware of a Super Offensive Tackle Taylor Lewan, but after the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, there are not too many 2014 NFL Fans in the country who are not aware of this Super Freak. Lewan (6-7.5, 309, 4.85, 30.5, 4.49, 117, 29) recorded some of the Most Incredible Measurables of any other player, including all of the Offensive Linemen and Tight Ends, on the First Day of the Combine.
–
In the 2013 NFL Scouting Combine, Lane Johnson (6-6, 303, 4.72, 34, 4.52, 118, 28) also had incredible Measurables and recorded a Scouting Combine Best 2,206 MEARS RATING, with the Added 100-Point Bonus. In the 2014 NFL Scouting Combine, Lewan almost matched him as he recorded a 2,158 MEARS RATING.
–
Although Lewan was unbelievably impressive, #38 Greg Robinson of Auburn was just as impressive as he ran a Mind-Boggling 4.87 Forty while weighing 332-Pounds. With his impressive Measurables, Robinson recorded an unbelievable 2,119 MEARS RATING. Super Star Robinson also dominated the Scouting Combine Drills.
–
As you can readily see! Only the Quarterbacks and Offensive Linemen were able to Record the Great Measurables and get the Really High MEARS RATING. The reason is very simple. Most of the Time, those two positions do not Record Great Measurables, but when the Athletic Players at these positions do great, they generally Rate off of the Athletic Charts. They also become NFL #1 Draft Choices. Over half of the Players that are Rated on this page became NFL #1 Draft Choices. This should alert all High School Players, College Players, and Free Agent Players that you must work on your Speed Measurables to get into Professional Football.
–
Coach Tom Landry asked me to do the Color-Coded Flip Chart, because he wanted to know where the Defensive Weaknesses were so he could attack those Weaknesses. Coach also wanted to know which side of the field to line-up our #1 Wide Receiver Drew Pearson, and whether to use RB Robert Newhouse, running the football, or to use RB Preston Pearson, a great Receiver, coming out of the backfield. TE Billy Joe Dupree was also a huge threat for the Cowboys and Coach Landry wanted to know whether to play him as a Tight or Flex-End.
–
“I’m a Cowboy for life,” Preston Pearson recently said. “The ‘America’s Team’ moniker started in our era, but we never got a chance to tell the fans how much we appreciated them being there for us. Everywhere we went, we always had fans. That’s where the name came from.”
–
I am very proud to say that Preston Pearson, Drew Pearson, and Billy Joe DuPree were three of my good friends on the Cowboys Offense, along with Fullback Walt Garrison. DE Harvey Martin, DE Ed “Too-Tall” Jones, OLB Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson, and FS Cliff Harris were good Friends on the Defense.
–
Cornell Green moved from being an active player in 1974 to a Cowboys Scout in 1975 and he and I also became best Friends, along with “Big John” Wooten in Scouting.

Quarterback Robert “RG-III” Griffin
2011 Heisman Trophy Winner and Davey O’Brien Award Winner
2,336 MEARS RATING and World Record Holder!
–
Before Robert Griffin III won the 2012 Heisman Trophy with a late rush, Andrew Luck was considered to be the Top Quarterback in the Country for almost two years, but when Griffin and Luck came to the 2012 NFL Scouting Combine, they both “Wowed” the NFL Scouts as they recorded some really amazing Measurables.
–
Griffin, not only recorded the World Record 2,336 MEARS RATING, he also became the First Player and Only Player to record the Maximum 400-Points in both Speed Measurables and the Maximum 300-Points in the Vertical Jump as he ran a 4.38 Forty; did an incredible 4.09 Pro-Shuttle; and an incredible 40-Inch Vertical Jump.
–
Luck was also the Perfect Proto-Type Dropback Quarterback, but a lot of people forgot that he was also a sensational Athletic Quarterback and he proved it at the Scouting Combine with a 4.56 Forty; a 36 Vertical Jump; a 4.28 Pro Shuttle; and a great 124-Inch Standing Broad Jump. Luck was also sensational in the Drills as he made all of the passes and was considered by the NFL Scouts to be the Most Perfect Quarterback who could make all of the pass-drops and throws to become an Franchise Quarterback for many years to come.
–
Trent Williams Received the 400 Maximum Points in both Speed Measurables with a 4.88 Forty and a 4.63 Pro Shuttle; plus he recorded a 34-Inch Vertical Jump, giving him 200-Points. Leon Sandcastle recorded Maximum Points for his Vertical Jump and Forty. Although he did not run a Shuttle, I gave him a Max 400-Points. Williams played Left Offensive Tackle for the West Team in the 2006 All-American Bowl Game Classic.

It took me about three days of Research to realize that a Scouting Combine Offensive Player would have to Record the Maximum 400-Points in both of the Speed Measurables to be able to get to the 2,100 MEARS RATING Plateau.
–
For Example: Some of the best Skill Players that have come through the Scouting Combine, but did not run fast Speed Measurables, simply can not reach the High MEARS RATING LEVELS, because there are just not enough available points. This is why the EXTRA COACHING EVALUATION POINTS are so crucial and important.
–
It’s like when Coach Boyd Epley said: “Max, you will Learn how to Evaluate Quarterbacks and other Special Player Evaluations for Great Players who did not Perform extremely well on their Speed Measurables.”
