Dr. Andrew Cleary

GridStrength is a performance analytics platform grounded in advanced research and applied practice in human performance.

Founded by Andrew Cleary, PhD, the platform translates large-scale NFL Combine data into position-specific comparison frameworks designed to support evidence-informed evaluation rather than deterministic projection.

Dr. Cleary holds a PhD in Human Performance and has over 25 years of professional experience spanning the NBA, NCAA athletics, elite youth development, and applied sport science. His work integrates biomechanics, strength and conditioning, and statistical modeling to examine how physical characteristics relate to long-term athletic outcomes.

GridStrength profiles emphasize population-level tendencies in speed, power, size, and movement qualities, organized by position and career outcome level. These comparisons are intended to provide perspective, helping coaches, scouts, and performance professionals ask better questions about overlap, likelihood, and development pathways, while recognizing that skill, decision-making, durability, and opportunity ultimately shape careers.

GridStrength is designed for coaches, analysts, and practitioners seeking structured, data-driven context, not prediction.
