3. Athleticism

As noted in the past slide, there are going to be people who call for him to step into the slot. That is because he has below average size and length. Below you can see just how athletic Thomas Graham is.

Overall, we knew the experience wasn’t causing his fall into round six. It is clearly his athletic measurements.

Beyond being small, his speed is dead average. That also came with a below-average 10-yard split and low burst scores. Most corners who transition into the slot have a great change of direction skills. That can typically be shown in their 3-cone and short shuttle. Thomas Graham does not have that type of ability in his testing either.

Looking at his athletic measurements and you can see a few decent comparisons. However, that list also shows that Kindle Vildor is definitely a better athlete than Graham, although they do have similar size and speed overall.
