My data disagrees...

Okay, fine. I respect that. And I really appreciate your work!

Please keep in mind that all the position specific ratings are preliminary...which you would have known if you would have read a few pages back when I first posted the scouting data being added to the site. All these numbers will change.

I don't doubt that agility or hip swivel is involved, however Agility is a different stat than Juke Move. Chad Greenway has a higher agility than AD, but if you saw his interception a couple years back when he hilariously attempted a Juke Move on the defenders before bringing him down, it becomes clear the Juke Move is not his forte (and probably why his Juke is so low!). I'm not sure what more goes into the particular skill ratings, I just don't understand how a corner (elite in his job) has an "elite" number, and a significantly higher number, in a category that AD has shown in highlight reel after highlight reel.

Thanks for the quick reply btw.

The AGI rating is an overall agility rating, regardless of position. The juke move is simply for the ability to make a juke move. AGI and JKM are independent. One is not based on the other. Hence why Greenway can have slightly better AGI at 81 to AD's 79, but still have a far lower JKM rating (47 compared to AD's 85). As for the CB's, they can still have elite numbers outside of their position-specific attributes.

I noticed that Brian Orakpo is listed as a DE, where he plays OLB. Trent Cole is a OLB, where he plays DE. Kevin Williams is a DE, where he plays DT.

Is there a specific reason for this? Just to give the player the highest possible ratings, maybe?

All players are currently listed at the positions they played when they were scouted before coming into the pros. These will change as the rosters are updated throughout camp. This is done to help rate static attributes.

Makes sence, but Carlos Rogers as an ILB? He played CB in the pros and college. Not a big deal if you said it'll change. Don't worry. I'm sorry if I'm just hounding you with questions and all .
