Player Review
Niko did really well at VEGAS XXIX on January 14-15, 2017. He is an extremely good athlete that was dominant throughout the agility section. Quick twitch kid with great hips. Love to see him lower his butt some more to ensure he gets more speed on the ball. If he gets his butt down and doesn't think so much, he could EASILY be in the low .7s due to his strength. Very good attitude and he can snap at the next level. All up to him and the little tweaks. Speed of the snap will be key.
Accomplishments
VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .87VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.47
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 21.25
All Long Snappers were tested on The Rubio Target. Each Long Snapper was tested on 12 punt snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set) and 12 pat snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set). Once the Long Snapper has completed the test, they earn an RSI which is the fairest and most accurate way to judge a Long Snapper by numbers. Please note: the RSI does not account for athleticism, spiral or mentality.
RSI (Rubio Standard Index): The RSI is the score divided by the average speed on The Rubio Target. You may obtain 2 bonus points for an average of .75-.79, 2 more bonus points for an average of .70-.74 and an additional 2 more bonus points if you average below .70.
