Player Review

Vines did well at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXIX Event on January 14-15, 2017. He is a large man with really powerful hands. I love the way he rips the ball back to the punter. Definitely a "caveman" snapper and I am into it. Need to see Vines focus on making sure his hands are quicker with no hitch and that he improves his athleticism in order to be in prime position for a TOP 12 Camp spot at VEGAS 30. With as powerful as he is, I would be shocked if he doesn't average in the low .7s as soon as his hitch is eliminated. TONS of upside.

Accomplishments

VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .79
VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.80
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 43.42

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.

Average 15 yard Snap Speed at VEGAS XXVII: .82
