Player Review

Max was solid at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXIX Event on January 14-15, 2017. Form is good and he is accurate with his snaps. Love to see Max focus on controlling his movements on the agility section. He can move downfield but I need him to be a little more in control of his body when doing it. Snapping wise, he is accurate with minimal wasted movement and good use of his legs. Love to see Max focus on snapping with more power and confidence along with locking down his spiral to slice through the wind. LOVE his attitude and he is always improving.

Accomplishments

VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .79
VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.47
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 34.21

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.
