Reporter runs impressive 40-yard dash in heels at NFL Combine

Here is a look at the combine’s winners and losers. He also posted a 30.5-inch vertical jump and a 115.0-inch broad jump. His broad jump was five inches further than any other player at the Combine.

Among the weekend participants were tight end Darrell Daniels, outside linebacker Joe Mathis, and defensive lineman Elijah Qualls, who all had solid showings themselves. Foster’s agent got to work with the recovery by having Foster draft a letter of apology that made clear Foster understands being at the combine is a privilege. The top running backs didn’t run the fastest 40 time, T.J. Logan, out of North Carolina did, running a 4.37 40-yard dash. He also ranked in the 13th percentile in his 3 cone drill, running that in 7.49 seconds. “Teez” looked nothing like he did on the football field, running a 4.62 40 yard dash, a 31 inch vertical, and only 9 reps of 225 lbs. Sunday we discussed our favorite offensive prospects.

And the 22-year-old Washington Huskies wide receiver John Ross did just that, completing the dash in 4.22 seconds, beating the previous record of 4.24 seconds.

“Now, if they do go out and get [Andrew] Whitworth in free agency, that might change a little”.

After sitting out the 2015 season with a torn ACL, Ross returned with 81 receptions for 1,150 yards (14.2 average) and 17 touchdowns in 2016.

S Obi Melifonwu (Connecticut) – Similar to Reddick, Melifonwu has had a heck of a buildup to the draft, and he was arguably the biggest star on the final day of the Combine. Many players exceeded expectations, but there were a few who fell flat.

Foster was not expected to take part in drills at the Combine as he recovers from shoulder surgery. A bad medical report is the only thing that can keep Hooker out of the Top 10.

The three defenders could be back on campus March 10 for Auburn’s annual pro day. Most teams view him as a guard, but it’s looking like he might be the rare guard who goes in the first round. Maycock now has Lamp ranked as the top interior lineman in the draft. He’ll be a likely, first-round fixture in the latest mock drafts. “Just knowing when to be physical, how to be physical, because there will be a lot of guys who are going to see me as a smaller guy so they are going to want to press me”.

It’s worth noting how much speed is present in this group.

All of this is to say that we may have no idea what Jabrill Peppers will be, but after the combine, we can be sure that it’ll be something special.

An overall great combine performance by Ross figures to have removed any doubts of his explosiveness and burst, and should be enough for Ross to get drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft on April 27.
