Figured I'd make a thread of the most freakish athletes at the combine. Of course it doesn't mean they will be good but it's interesting CB Tariq Woolen - this 6'4" 205lb CB who converted from WR ran a 4.26 40 and a 42" vertical. also has 33 5/8 arms WR Christian Watson - this 6'4" 208lb WR ran a 4.36 40 38.5 vertical and 136 broad jump WR Calvin Austin III - a small 5;8" 175lb WR showed some freakish athletics with a 39" vertical, 135 broad jump, 6.65 3 cone and 4.07 shuffle. Also to boot his film as a WR is great. I had him as a mid round sleeper for months now and he probably jumped up his stock but I think wherever he goes it'll be a steal DT Jordan Davis - this 6'6" 341lb behemoth ran a 4.78 40 LB troy anderson - this 6'3.5" 243lb LBer ran a 4.42 40. he was also a QB in 2018 and was all conference then switched to LBer and in 2019 and 2021 was all conference LBer. He is also a good special teamer. feel free to add anyone I missed
Jordan Davis is the most underrated prospect in this draft. He was absolutely dominant for Georgia and backed it up at the combine. He has to be in consideration at 10. A buddy of mine that use to play at Toledo said he’s the best player in the draft! He is an absolute freak with a really good motor. Going to be interesting to see where he goes.
The biggest freak of them all this year - Travon Walker: 6'5" 272 lbs 35.5" arms 4.51 second 40 35.5" vert 6.89 second 3 cone Good motor? Davis is notorious for gassing out in games. It's by far the biggest knock on him. He's dominant when he has enough oxygen but he becomes borderline unplayable halfway into the third quarter.
The pass rushers in this draft are looking good: Tier 1 Aidan Hutchinson (Top two) Kayvon Thibodeaux (Top seven) Travon Walker (Top ten) Jermaine Johnson II (Top twenty) David Ojabo (Top twenty) Tier 2 George Karlaftis (Top 35) Kingsley Enagbare (Top 40)
