About this data
- 2021 numbers are pro-day results — no combine was held that year (about 0% of this group).
- Missing values aren’t random: top prospects skip drills. Bench press (reps): 66% of interior offensive linemen tested.
- 128 athletes listed only as “OL” (mostly 2019–2021) could not be split into OT vs IOL and are excluded from this group.
