Burst
After the combineColin Simmons gets a Burst score once he tests at the combine or his pro day. Burst grades each test against every EDGE at the combine since 2000, where 5.0 is average for the position and 10 is the best ever. Each area is the average of its tests. Size-adjusted weighs speed against body weight. With fewer than 5 combine tests, pro day results fill the tests he skipped; timed pro day drills (40, shuttle, 3-cone) aren't scored yet.
