The benchmark table
Tiers are vs offensive tackles at the NFL Combine, 2017–2026, who tested that drill. Timed drills are already flipped: a faster time is a higher tier.

About this data
- 2021 numbers are pro-day results — no combine was held that year (about 3% of this group).
- Missing values aren’t random: top prospects skip drills. Bench press (reps): 33% of offensive tackles tested.
- 128 athletes listed only as “OL” (mostly 2019–2021) could not be split into OT vs IOL and are excluded from this group.
