This week at \u201cThe Opening\u201d 166 of the best high school football players have assembled to perform a variety of activities that exhibit their football abilities and athleticism. At Tracking Football we believe there is no better way to assess a football player\u2019s true athleticism than by evaluating the combination of his height, weight, position, track and field data \/ multiple sport participation. That\u2019s why we developed the Player Athletic Index<\/a> score and provide NCAA approved recruiting services to FBS schools across the country. The PAI is a completely objective and standardized analytic that allows us to identify, evaluate and compare raw athleticism in a football-centric manner. 101 (61%) football players at the 2016 \u201cThe Opening\u201d participated in track and field at some point in high school, and 70 (42%) were on their school\u2019s track team as recently as 2016. Our research consistently proves<\/a> that a large majority of elite football athletes do not specialize as preps.<\/p>\n

Below are\u00a0six football players that excel both on the track and in the field.<\/p>\n
