Q2: How does this compare to basketball dunking?
A: Football players typically have higher reaches due to more focus on vertical leap training.
Q3: Can this predict fantasy performance?
A: While not definitive, players with higher reaches tend to score more red zone touchdowns.
Q4: Should I prioritize reach over other metrics?
A: It's one of many factors to consider along with speed, agility, and hands.
Q5: How accurate are these measurements?
