I feel like these visualizations do a poor job at accurately displaying combine performance.
The filling-in of the color makes it seem like area under the curves is what we should be looking at, but often times the area is somewhat arbitrary. Look at Weaver's for example, if you switched his Bench Press and his 40, there would be more area under the curve, just based on which categories are next to one another.
I know they look cool, but a bar chart is probably a lot more honest about the data.
Let me start by saying my memory does NOT always serve me as well as I’d hope.....but when Weaver was recruited, wasn’t he a weight room FREAK? I remember something like a deadlift of 450? How’d that translate to a 3rd percentile in the bench press? Was his last arm in a sling?
Also, rewatched the 2nd half of the Big Game last night which included that awesome INT by Hawk......a thing of beauty!!!!

I hope all three of these former Bears get a good look. Both Davis and Weaver will be drafted but Hawkins may be a UFA.
