Definitely what he does on the field. But I'm sure after watching game tape, coaches have questions about aspects of a guy's game, and that's where some of the measurables come in.
Let's say I see a guy like Michael Huff primarily playing safety in college, but I think he might be able to play cornerback at the next level. He runs a 3.96 short shuttle and a 6.68 three cone drill at his pro day, and those are cornerback-like numbers that show good change of direction ability and support the idea of Huff being able to transition to cornerback.
