There's a lot more that goes into making a successful football player; like prior coaching, mental make-up, the situation they're being put in, etc.
But for non-QB's, it's pretty useful. More so for some positions then others. Particularly for skill position guys, DE's, LB's, OT's and places like that.
I mean the casual fan ONLY looks at a 40 time when they look at WR's. RAS is certainly more detailed than that.

It says Rice is 40% more athletic than Hopkins.
I mean...c'mon.
Even strictly as a measure of athleticism, it just doesn't tell you anything. It's a bad composite.
