6 of the 49ers draft picks tested as ‘elite’ athletes

Pulling each of the 49ers draft picks RAS score. Athleticism matters in athletics.

As the draft selections were flying off the board in the NFL Draft, fans rushed to research players’ films, statistics, and RAS scores. RAS, or Relative Athletic Score, measures a player’s agility, speed, and strength. The three categories are explosion, speed, and agility, with each category using different combine drills to add up to a composite grade from 1 to 10.

How did the 49ers draft picks score?

Ricky Pearsall’s RAS score (9.91) was ranked 31st out of 3402 tested receivers from 1987 to 2024. Pearsall’s explosion, speed, and agility grades were all elite. His highest grades were his vertical jump of 42 (9.92) and ten-yard split (9.81).

Renardo Green didn’t test as well, and his RAS score includes a DNQ for his agility grade. Green’s 8.21 RAS score ranked 443rd out of 2473 CBs from 1987 to 2024.

Dominick Puni scored a “poor” grade for speed, but that shouldn’t be a concern for a lineman. An elite grade for agility, including his shuttle (9.88) and 3-cone (9.42), is far more telling and encouraging. Puni’s score was ranked 292nd out of 1583 offensive linemen from 1987 to 2024.

Issac Guerendo blew away the competition with his RAS score of 9.90, which ranked 20th out of 1903 RBs from 1987 to 2024. There is a whole lot of green in Guerendo’s RAS chart.

Jacob Cowing finished with a 6.28 RAS score, but his speed grade was elite. A 40-yard dash of 4.38 (9.62), ten-yard split of 1.52 (9.36), and 20-yard split of 2.54 (9.38) add up to the elite speed grade for the Arizona receiver.

Malik Mustapha did not complete any agility testing in 2024. However, his RAS score of 9.39 ranked 68th out of 1093 free safeties from 1987 to 2024. Mustapha put up 22 bench reps, showcasing his strength.

Jarrett Kingston of USC had an eye-opening RAS score of 9.92, which ranked 13th out of 1583 offensive guards from 1987 to 2024. Although Kingston scored a DNQ for his agility, his shuttle time of 4.47 was good for a 9.66 score.

The 49ers’ final draft pick , Tatum Bethune, was the only draft pick to grade as poor. The good news is he did manage a “good” score in speed and agility. Seeing the composite grade of 4.10 is a bit of an eyesore.
