<p>We move into the trenches and the defensive side of the ball from the TrainingHAUS Combine partnered with the Minnesota Football Coaches Association last Saturday. We scanned every top testing number we could find to name our best of the best in each testing category. With college coaches all having a specific skillset in mind evaluating every position, we gave it everything we got to find their fits by position group. We also dished out more SES MVPs, which is an analytic we use to measure size explosiveness, and speed for each fitting to each position group to determine readiness at the next-level.</p>
