YOUR CAMP EXPERIENCE 

Rivals Camp Series Quarterbacks will run through a variety of drills using Wilson X Connected QB tracking technology, meaning that every ball thrown during certain drills will collect data on the throw. That throw data is valuable for the player and coach, from a training and recruiting standpoint. A National Leaderboard will be published so athletes can see their data such as velocity, spiral efficiency, spin rate and release time and how they compare to their peers from across the country.

Show off your throwing skills. Wilson X Data Collected:  

SPIN RATE – how fast your ball is spinning in revolutions per minute (rpm). The higher the spin rate, the faster your pass is spiraling. More rapid spinning means the ball can move easier through the air, going faster and further. A good average spin rate is over 650 rpm, with NFL QB’s consistently in the 700-800 range

SPIRAL EFFICIENCY – how tight your spiral is, on a scale of 1-100%. The tighter your spiral, the more accurate your passes generally are. NFL QB’s are consistently in the low to mid 90’s

VELOCITY – how fast your pass is moving in miles per hour. NFL QB’s can throw 54-58 mph but sit in the 45-50 range on avg throughout a game. Higher velocity means the ball arrives to target quicker. The fastest ball is not always the best ball, the culmination of all the data points is what makes a good throw

RELEASE TIME – amount of time it takes to complete throwing motion from breaking of the hands to ball leaving the fingers. Faster release helps to avoid the ball being batted down at the line of scrimmage. Also gives you more time to make the right read. NFL QB’s have an average release time of 0.43 seconds, therefore the faster you can get the ball out, the better.
