Good morning all,
Before we go into Trautman's 3 cone drill first lets discuss the importance of the drill and why its ran. Simply put the primarily focus of the drill is to evaluate the agility, quickness and fluidity of movement of players. To succeed in the drill youll need fluid hips, body control, and short area quickness, Trautman excels at all three.
With all if that in mind Trautman ran an official 6.78 3 cone drill at 6'5 255lbs at the combine. That is incredible.
Just how impressive is that? Lets compare his results vs some of the best route runners in the entire NFL.
(please keep in mind some of these players did not preform the 3 cone at the combine but instead their pro day... which tends to be favorable to the participant)
Tight Ends:
George Kittle 6'4 251lbs: 6.76 (pro-day)
Jimmy Graham 6'6 250lbs: 6.90 (combine)
Zack Ertz 6'5 249lbs: 7.08 (combine)
Travis Kelce, 6'5 255lbs: 7.12 (pro-day)
Now lets compate his number vs some of the best route runners in the NFL, please keep in mind the added height and weight Trautman has on them.
Recievers:
OBJ 5'11 198lbs: 6.69 (combine)
Michael Thomas 6'3 212lbs: 6.80 (combine) *MT is 2 inches shorter and 43lbs lighter*
Devante Adams 6'1 212lbs: 6.82 (combine)
Antonio Brown 5'10 186lbs: 6.98 (combine)
Stefon Diggs 6-0 191lbd: 7.03 (combine)
Simply put regardless of his 4.8 40 Trautman has the fluidity and burst to become an excellent route runner and create separation regardless of his straight line speed.
