Abstract
SUMMARY THE PURPOSES OF THIS REVIEW WERE TO EVALUATE THE PHYSICAL TEST BATTERY CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTED AT THE NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE (NFL) COMBINE AND TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON POSITIONAL REQUIREMENTS. DEPENDING ON THE POSITION, VERY DIFFERENT SKILL SETS ARE NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS IN AMERICAN FOOTBALL. EVALUATION OF THE CURRENT NFL COMBINE BATTERY DETERMINED THAT MANY POSITIONS PERFORM TESTS NOT OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE TO THAT POSITION. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT 4 TESTS REPLACE THE CURRENT 6. THESE INCLUDE THE 36.6-M SPRINT WITH SPLIT TIMES, LOWER- AND UPPER-BODY MAXIMAL STRENGTH MEASURES, AND A DIRECT MEASURE OF LOWER-BODY POWER.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
