NFL Combine has come and gone. This week, I'm discussing standout performers,

quick preface for the twenty twenty four NFL combine. At this point, we're
all aware the quarterback class is not necessarily deep, but it's loaded at the
top running back based on the measurables and athletic traits we saw in Indianapolis,
communicate that it is a better class than most expected. The wide receiver group
is insane, so much talent, speed, size, all working in their
favor to be impactful. We're gonna see a lot of first round wide receivers
in real life. Buckle up for it should be a wild ride monitoring their
progress. And then tight end is very top heavy with some normal upside,
and there'll be two names among tight ends I'll discussed on this week's program.
Let's start off with Isaac Garendo, running back out of Louisville. He has
six feet, two hundred and twenty one pounds a four point three to three
fourty yard dash that was best among running backs. That's cooking with that body
frame, one point five to five second ten yard split, forty one and
a half inch vertical. It's best among running backs and a ten foot nine
ers broad jump second best among running backs. Isaac Garendo went from being a
Day three pick in most mock drafts to now in the day two conversation.
Incredible turn of events for his outlook. A one thirty two, eight ten
eleven rushing line for six point one yards per clip, and then twenty two
grabs for two thirty four and twenty twenty three. He previously spent twenty nineteen
to twenty twenty two with Wisconsin without surpassing sixty four rushes in a single season,
so the thresholds in terms of data changed drastically in Girndo's favor. This
past year, he split time at Louiso with Jair Jordan, and pre Combine,
I was more in on Jordan than Girndo. However, Isaac's a lot
of profile has everyone on watch. He is no longer a sleeper. He
is at the forefront of the running back discussion. Most pre combined grades,
as I mentioned, had Girendo in the round six to seven range. Now's
a chance he can hear his name called in rounds three to five. He
turns twenty four in June, so there's any negatives about his profile could be
age, especially running back short shelf life projected at the NFL level all in,
although, if you want to talk about a standout performer or a Combine
winner, look no further than Isa Garendo, who even on tape you see
that speed, that burst, that explosion, yet it didn't wow me during
my film evaluation process. This has me going back looking deeper and seeing what
I could have missed. Or is it just that Girndo tested really well while
his game film isn't as appealing. We will see what a weekend for Garendo.
Jalen Wright, running back out of Tennessee, is five to ten two
hundred and ten pounds, four point three eight to forty yard dash that's second
among running backs, a one point five five second ten yard splits thirty eight
h vertical that's fourth among running backs, and an eleven foot two inch broad
jump, which from what I see is the second best scorer ever at the
position. Talk about another running back made a name for himselves at the Combine.
He went one thirty seven, ten, thirteen and four for seven point
four yards per clip. In twenty twenty three, added twenty two receptions for
a buck forty one's receiver, and those seven point four yards per Kerry actually
live the nation this past year, writes playing speed aligned with a blazing forty
yard dashtime, which again was four point three eight, making him a true
berner at the RB position. His strong showing at the combine has him in
consideration now is a top one hundred pick in next month's draft, possibly even
RB one in this year's rookie class, or at least in the mix alongside
Jonathan Brooks, Braylan Allen, Trey Benson, or Blake Korn. There's a
lot of running backs in that potential top tier, and Jalen Wright is throwing
that conversation now. Tennessee's film of him is easy to watch and like he's
explosive, elusive, shifty in space and the speed is I think what's going
to take him to the next level of scouts wanting to select him for NFL
franchise five ten two ten with four point three eight wheels, that is hard
to find. Audrey Estime running back on Notre Dame. He stood out,
but not in the best way. I'll explain five to eleven two twenty one
a four point seven yard dash that was last of my running backs. Red
flag one point five at second ten yard split that was tied for second worst
my running backs. Not good in terms of getting off the line of scrimmage
with that straightaway speed, and then a thirty eight ins vertical was tie for
fourth best of my running backs. Okay, looks better for explosion. And
then ten foot five inch broad jump was also tied fourth with my running backs.
So this is a split affair for audric estime, where his straight line
speed was downright awful, but the explosive metrics that being the vertical or broad
jump were top five, actually top four among running backs who tested now.
As we've seen before with a notrename running back a la Kyra Williams who ran
at four point six five forty a few years ago, a lack of straightaway
speed is not ideal. However, it can be overcome with other strengths,
and for estimate that's acceleration power and a depth field vision. I am a
Notre Dame fan, as you all know, so I've seen plenty of Audric
estimy just watching them every single weekend, and I knew that he had build
up speed I didn't think his straight away speed be this bad, but quite
honestly, I think Audrichs Kyle job Putt in twenty twenty three is much more
promising with a two ten thirteen forty one eighteen rushing log six point four hours
per kerry and then seventeen grabs for about forty two. Therefore, I'm not
panicking about Oddric's outlook. If anything, a poor showing at the combine could
allow him to become cheaper in Dynasty. Depending on his real life draft capital,
which could now slide past his prior third round range of draft grades,
this can now be a fourth, fifth or sixth round prospect. The good
news is that if he does become cheaper, Estimate can become a late second,
early mid third pick in one quarterback or superflex leagues. I'll be all
into that price points. Let's see what the NFL thinks about Estimate and go
from there. In terms of longevity, he doesn't turn twenty one until September,
which means youth is on his side. Don't write off Estimate because of
the poor straightaway speed. Again, Kyrin Williams, who we all think of
now as a borderline top five running back in reach after Dynasty had a four
point sixty five to forty estimate four point seven to one. It's not great,
but if you watch the game film, there is speed, There is
just build up and the power explosiveness is what could be more important for the
sake of an NFL scheme fit. Xavier Worthy wide receiver Texas perhaps the buzzworthiest
name out of the entire combine weekend. He's five to eleven, one sixty
five, so a smaller stature, but a four point two to one forty
yard dash. It took the NFL sea by storm because it's a combined record
that was previously held by John Ross at four point two two seconds. It
did not stop there for Worthy, a one point four to nine second ten
yard split best among whiteouts, forty one x vertical, fourth best among wide
receivers, ten foot eleven inch broad a's fifth among wide receivers. Talk about
a first round profile in real life for a wiveshreeter prospect, Worthy himself production
wises past year seventy five, ten, fourteen and five for thirteen and a
half yards per caetch. Now we can't become too engrossed with all the positives.
The one negative does remain that Xavier Worthy has a small build that could
be a concern at the pro level. That being said, his game changing
speed alleviates their ability worries since Xavier is a dynamic talent who could perform at
a high level of both wide receiver as well on pump returns, which you
think NFL teams will come it. Worthy mention modeling his game or at least
being a fan of Deshaun Jackson, which shows on tape. I haven't see
shades of a faster version of t Y Hilton, at least during my film
study of Worthy prior to the combine. To touch on that speed at a
different perspective, Worthy clocked at twenty two point seven miles per hour once in
his college career. That is absolutely blazing, and a four point two point
forty yard dash indicates that it was no fluke. Now keep in mind that
as a true freshman back in twenty twenty one, you have a Worthy put
the college football world on notice with a sixty two to ninety one twelve effort
for fifteen point yards perception. Worthy checks all the boxes, testing measurables the
profile production in school, he didn't turn twenty one until April very young.
It suddenly seems like a first round lock in next month's NFL draft in terms
of where he'll go in one quarterback or super flect tricky drafts. This show
in Indianapolis certainly makes a case you're going to be a top five wide out
most rankings. The issue at hand is it's such a loaded wide receiver group
that it could go top ten, top twelve of names we normally select in
the first round of urging drafts. So this is a great year to have
seconds and even thirds because a lot of talent's going to fall, especially in
Superflex, with at least six to seven names going in the first two rounds.
At quarterback. Keon Coleman wide receiver four states I'll compare him to audrict
estimate in terms of being more bad than good, but still their standout trades
here six three, two thirteen, A four point sixty one forty yard dash
second worst among wide receivers, one point five four second ten yard splits,
thirty eight hs vertical, and a ten foot seven inch broad. It's a
lackluster overall testing profile. No one's going to argue against that. The forty
time sure disappointing, however, not in a major surprise if you're familiar with
what Keon brings to the field his set of tools. He wins after the
catch, physicality, a run after the catch monster during the combine itself,
Keon made up for the poor strait line speed within your flawless gauntlet drill.
And that is huge because his hands have been in question. But he looked
fluid, ran a relatively straight line from end to end of the field.
That's encouraging. Fifty six fifty eight eleven for thirteen point years per catch for
production in twenty twenty three. All in all, Keon Coleman did not have
a great showing in Indianapolis projects as a boom or bust NFL talent with a
wide range of outcomes who could be scheme dependent. All of that being said,
there's no denying his traits and potentials. If you're invested in Keon Coleman
prior to the draft and he lands with the team in the first round or
early mid seconds, then not much shookd change. You're still going to believe
in Coleman if we hear his name called mid to late first round and you
were out and you're a fan of the landing spots, then you have a
tough decision on your hands because at this point most people are in or out
on Coleman as a talent. I personally like to bet on skill sets like
Coleman where the football instincts after the catch are obvious as day watching film.
Usually that pans out. Sure, he needs some more finesse and refining to
be a complete wide out, but we're not valuing him in the same conversation
as in Marvin Harrison Junior, Malik Neighbors, Roma Doonza, Brian Thomas Junior,
Lad mcconkee, Exavier Worthy. You get the idea more solidified assets among
this year's rookie wideouts. Key On Coleman is going to be after those names,
so there's less risk in my mind baked into selecting him. Time for
a quick break and I'll be back with a few more stand up performers from
the twenty twenty four NFL combine before I get to that. If you want

You can't beat it. Time for that quick break and I'll be right
back. Ricky Pearsaw wide receiver, Florida what a weekend for him. Six
' one one eighty nine four point four to one forty forty two inch vertical
third best among wide receivers, and then a ten foot nine inx broad jump
while showing up best with a six point sixty four second three cone drill those
first among wideouts and approves his top tier change of direction ability, suddenness in
and out of routes, agility in general. Ricky carry the momentum over from
an impressive Senior Bowl week to Indianapolis for the Combine. While the showcase scene
is glue for hands and receiving drills couple with his standout in like profile.
From a measurable perspective, he was compared to Chris o'lave during the Combine telecast.
I don't know if he has that sort of ceiling for an NFL team.
I think Khalil Shakir with shiftiness is a more realistic comparison. Not saying
that Pearsaw can't contribute more than Shakir, but from a stylistic approach, that's
where I think an NFL comp makes more sense than a Chris o'lave. Nonetheless,
Pearsaw sixty five nine to sixty five and four for fourteen points per catch
in twenty twenty three. He turns twenty four in September. That's the one
downside of his outlook right now is an advanced age prospect. All that being
said, it sounds like Mickey Pearsall could very well sneak it to the top
seventy five, if not one hundred picks of this year's draft based on post
chatter combine in league circles. And if you're a fan of Pearsaw, then
you've done the film study. You know they could play inside out of the
slot with his quick feet and a depth rout running. There is also potential
at six nine to play outside. It's a matter of strength at that point.
All in all, the hands are fantastic, the athletic profiles better than
I think anyone expected. So Ricky Piersall is catapulting in value after a huge
weekend at the Combine. A name I don't think is receiving enough credit for
his showing this past weekend is tes Walker wide receiver, North Carolina six one
one ninety three a four point three six forty fourth best among wide receivers one
point five to four second ten yards split A forty and a half inch vertical
it's fit best among the wide receivers and eleven foot two inch broad jump second
best among wide receivers. He went forty one, six, ninety nine and
seven for seventeen yards per grab in twenty twenty three, spent twenty twenty one
and twenty twenty two. A. Kent states the COVID season threw off Walker's
college consistency. He is viewed as an unfinished product. Rightfully so, there's
plenty of upside for the pro level if he can refine the route, treat
and more fundamentally sound at wide receiver test performed well as a vertical threat for
Drake May and North Carolina as a whole. The question is Kenny develop into
more than that as a pro. Walker's combine profile helps make a case for
being a bed professional the college wideouts. It will be usage based and it
is scheme dependent, like a Keon Coleman. I think at a ceiling we
could see tes Walker Blossman to with a T. Higgins a strong number two
for a team without being an alpha or a one. But the basement or
the flour is all over the map. As other vertical receivers often are without
consistent volume. If you're a fan of tes Walker in the film, then
this is a huge weekend for him. It's not even production based. At
this point. The measurables and testing were so much better than anyone could have
guessed into recap. Tes had the fourth best forty yard dashtime among wideouts,
the fifth best vertical jump, and the second best broad jump. Is he
a first round prospect? No, but second third round is certainly in the
cards. He turns twenty three in June, so fairly young. I am
not one hundred percent sold on tes Walker. Now, I will say that
I was on the fence partly to the combine, and now I'm much closer
to being on the side of Hey, if I have a mid to eight
second or early third tes Walker, someone I might bump up my rankings in
my rookie drafts. How about Ben Sinate tight end Kansas States six four two
fifty, a four point six to eight forty, a one point five nine
second ten yard split, forty inch vertical that was first among tight ends,
ten foot six inch broad also first among tight ends, and a six point
eight two second three cone drill. You guessed it first among tight ends.
This is tu a t a standout all a profile for a tight end prospect
Sinate went forty nine, six, seventy six, and six for thirteen pointy
yards per catch and twenty twenty three. He's a former walk on, so
considering where he's at now, kudos to Ben Sinnet. His tape is odd
to watch because he wears number thirty four often for a running back and he
lines up all of the formations. So this is a versatile player, fluid
route runner, good agility, change directing skills, and that's evident from his
testing at the combine. Now one area of improvement is creating separation. I've
seen that on tape time and time again. He does have plus ball skills
nactural when it comes to that, and then creating yards at the content have
to help offset the concerns of fighting off press coverage. But quite honestly,
it might not matter. After what we saw with the vertical, the broad
and the three cone drill for a six to four, two to fifty pound
tight end prospect. He turns twenty two in June. We could see him
selected as really a second or third round after this showing, and I am
really excited to see what NFL franchise Benson ends up with and then Ryan out.
This week's show is THEO Johnson tight end of Penn States, who was
gain steam prior to the combine and now it is all aboard the THEO Johnson
Express six' six two fifty nine, a four point five to seven second
forty yard dash second among tight ends, a one point five five second ten
yard split that was tied for first among tight ends, thirty nine and a
half ins vertical second among tight ends, and a ten foot five inch broad
jump that was also second among tight ends. The one blemish was a seven
point one five second three cone drill fifth amok tight ends. Still not all
that bad. Daniel Jeremiah comparison during the telecast is Jimmy Graham. What a
lot of comparison that is, But if true, watch out. THEO Johnson
production wise of Penn State last year was thirty four pre forty one and seven
for ten yards per grab. Few of my notes watching THEO Johnson on tape
over the past few months is that he contributes a lot on underneath, comeback
out or flat routes. As a change mover, displayed plenty of wiggle or
shiftiness as a route runner and receiver. The one concern that I consistently saw
is it's a stiff upright form of running both pre and post catch, and
I'm not sure if that is out of design or simply how he functions with
the football in his hands. Roba, he runs routes, but I didn't
think it aligned with this elite profile, with the forty yard dash, the
ten yards split, the vertical on the broad I saw a different player in
Indianapolis with that letic profile compared to the film of where Sure I liked the
THEO has to offer as a receiver, and I think that he could be
useful in the NFL, But again, that stiff upreposition had me shocked to
see that he is this athletic. So I'm puzzled by THEO Johnson. I
think he's going to be selected as high as tight end two overall in the
draft itself by the time the end of April rolls around, so I need
to reevaluate and go back to watch more THEO Johnson film. He was always
going to be fairly high in my rankings, but the gap between him and
Jatavion Sanders out of Texas as tight end two in this year's crop behind.
Obviously, brock Bauers might not be as wide as we assume. I think
Bowers is on a plan of his own, but theo versus Sanders is a
conversation. Thank you all for listening. Hope you all enjoyed my twenty twenty
four NFL Combine Stand Up Performers episode. A quick recap. I discussed Isaac
Garndo running back out of Louisville, Jalen Wright running back out of Tennessee,
Audrick Estimate running back out of Notre Dame, Xavier Worthy wide receiver out of
Texas, Kean Coleman wide receiver Florida States, Ricky pearsall wide receiver, Florida
Tes, Walker wide receiver, North Carolina, Ben Sinnett tight end Kansas States,
and Theo Johnson tight end Penn State. Are there more names, players,
topics that should have brought up, of course, but I don't want
to touch on everything all at once. We have from now March until the
end of April to talk about the combine pro days to reflect back or evaluate
all these prospects. It's a really fun, exciting time of year. I
want to provide you my highlights of this weekend. What I took away as
most important in this week's show. Hope you enjoyed it. I'll be back
next week with more content. Until next time, this is the Dynasa you're
checking out. Hope you all have a great rest of the week. See you
