Playmaker Score is based on a statistical analysis of all of the Division I wide receivers drafted in the years 1996-2016, and measures the following:
- The wide receiver's projected draft position from ESPN's Scouts, Inc.;
- The prospect's best or "peak" season for receiving yards per team attempt (i.e., a wide receiver with 1,000 receiving yards whose team passed 400 times would score a "2.50");
- The wide receiver prospect's peak season for receiving touchdowns per team attempt;
- The difference between the prospect's peak season for receiving touchdowns per team attempt and the prospect's most recent season for receiving touchdowns per team attempt (this factor is simply "0" for a player whose peak season was his most recent season);
- The wide receiver's vertical jump from pre-draft workouts;
- A variable that rewards players who enter the draft as underclassmen and punishes those who exhaust their college eligibility;
- The wide receiver's college career yards per reception; and
- The wide receiver's rushing attempts per game during their peak season for receiving yards per team attempt.
They do not pro-rate stats for missed games, which works against guys like DK Metcalf and Emanuel Hall.
