The NFL is obsessed with athleticism, so much so that it occasionally causes great players to fall in the draft. The Atlanta Falcons landed a Day 1 talent in Clemson cornerback Avieon Terrell on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, likely due to the rookie's average athletic testing.

On the flip side, the Falcons landed two of the more athletic players in the class in Georgia wide receiver Zachariah Branch and Washington defensive tackle Anterio Thompson. Branch recorded a relative athletic score (RAS) of 9.12, while Thompson recorded a 9.38 overall score.

RAS creator Kent Lee Platte released the overall relative athletic scores for each NFL team. Atlanta finished near the bottom of the league. "The Falcons ranked 26 of 32 for Average RAS of their 2026 draft class with a 7.84 average for their six players who had a score," wrote Platte.

So, what exactly were the RAS scores for all six of members of the Falcons' rookie class?

As you can see, Falcons sixth-round pick Harold Perkins Jr. also had a solid RAS score (8.63), while fourth-round pick Kendal Daniels have an average 5.09 RAS. Obviously, athleticism isn't everything, but it's an interesting way to look at college prospects.
