<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The results are in, and we have a clear list of the fastest, most agile, and most powerful players from PRZ's the Rize. Testing reveals the athletic traits that often separate good football players from great ones. Tests like the 40-yard dash measure more than straight-line speed but also showcases acceleration and top end burst. The pro shuttle and L-drill highlight a player's ability to decelerate, change direction, and reaccelerate, all of which translate directly to cutting off ball carriers, creating separation, or staying in phase during coverage. Meanwhile, the broad jump is a strong indicator of lower body explosiveness, a trait that shows up when firing off the line of scrimmage, exploding through a tackle, or driving into a block. These traits came to life during position drills later on in the day, helping identify the prospects whose testing translated into football ability. Here are the top 5 players for each test, regardless of class or position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>40-yard Dash</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2076845' first='Xavier' last='Christian'] 2030 4.71s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1277961' first='Nymir' last='Hawkins'] 2030 4.77s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1476959' first='Mason' last='Rohan'] 2030 4.789s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>David Knowles III 2030 4.794s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emar Copeland 2030 4.842s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>L-Drill</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kannon Wright 2031 6.73s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyler Harper 2030 6.73s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1277961' first='Nymir' last='Hawkins'] 2030 6.81s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2144590' first='Joseph' last='Miceli'] 2030 6.83s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Danny Guerrera 2030 6.91s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Pro Shuttle (5-10-5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1277961' first='Nymir' last='Hawkins'] 2030 4.34s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyler Harper 2030 4.38s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Danny Guerrera 2030 4.38s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Luke Maurino 2030 4.38s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kannon Wright 2031 4.38s</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Broad Jump</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cruz Ruff 2030 9ft 8in</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Luke Maurino 2030 9ft 7in</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Liam Barner 2030 9ft 6in</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cole Hampel 2030 9ft 6in</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Donnis Sloan 2030 9ft 3in</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
