Still not sure why he grades out so well with super models. The combine can't answer every ??
Based on data from the Scouting Combine, in virtually every athletic metric tracked, you can see an almost perfect symmetry across the board among offensive and defensive positions.

You can match up the positions as follows:
Wide Receiver (WO) with Defensive backs (DC) - WR's a bit taller.
Fullbacks (FB) with Linebbackers (OLB/ILB)
Running Backs (RB) with Safties (FS/SS)
Tight Ends (TE) with Defensive Ends (DE)
and although the data is not available (N/A) for Defensive Lineman (DL), my guess would be that they would be very close to the Offensive Lineman (OC/OG/OT) they compete with as well.
Similarly, there is no data for kickers and punters (K/P) but I would guess that they would be pretty close to Quarterbacks. OK, maybe not drunken kickers. And let's face it, why are we even concerned about athletic abilities in any of these three positions?
