Player Review

Erik was very solid at VEGAS XXIX on January 14-15, 2017. I like the way he moves on his feet and he runs hard. Good pop with his body and was aggressive when tackling. Love to see him snap with full power and focus on getting his head up a bit quicker after the snap. Good size and his form is solid. He is right on the cusp of greatness. Bending a bit more at the hips will help him move better laterally. Solid upside and always improving.

Erik did well at the Rubio Long Snapping fall camp in IL on September 25, 2016. Frame is very solid and he is snapping with some confidence. Form is good and he is, easily, one of the smoothest Long Snappers in his class. Ball just rolls off his fingers and hits the punter's hands. Like to see him be a little more aggressive and quicker out of the gate. As stated, frame is good as his form so he needs to really trust them and let the ball fly out of his hands. Also, would like to see him focus on getting back up after the block much quicker in order to slow down the defender rushing the A gap. Always improving and I expect full dominance at VEGAS XXIX.

Accomplishments

VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .75
VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.43
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 36.00

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.
