The Elite Rating Index (ERI), conceived by 15-year NFL veteran kicker Shayne Graham, revolutionizes the assessment of kicking and punting in professional football. Graham’s extensive on-field experience as a player, coach, and trainer inspired him to create a tool combining cutting-edge technology with human insights.
Powered by real-time data from strategic partner Trackman, ERI goes beyond traditional statistics, offering coaches and scouts precise metrics to identify a kicker or punter’s strengths and weaknesses. This integration of technology from Trackman, renowned for sports analytics precision, ensures ERI remains dynamic in a rapidly evolving sports landscape.
What sets ERI apart is Graham’s hands-on involvement, investing hundreds of hours in performance evaluation and engaging with industry experts. This comprehensive approach involves studying game footage, analyzing play-by-play data, and leveraging Graham’s vast football network for insights. The result is a tool that fuses data-driven insights with wisdom from years of on-field experience.
ERI provides coaches and scouts actionable insights, facilitating tailored training regimens and strategic planning. Whether assessing accuracy from different distances or a punter’s ball control, ERI offers a detailed analysis that surpasses traditional scouting methods.
The Elite Rating Index will emerge as a game-changer in college and professional football evaluation, reflecting the synergy between expertise and technology.
