dave mcbride Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) 46.5 inches. My god. That’s just about 4 feet. Makes him taller than the tallest player in the league, basically, and certainly taller than any secondary player. He’s also 6’2” already. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/18/josh-imatorbhebhe-records-46-5-inch-vertical-jump-at-illinois-pro-day/ Here’s the jump: Edited March 18, 2021 by dave mcbride 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsgoteam Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Wow. He would probably have a career in the NFL in Special Teams alone right? I'm thinking FG blocks and punt blocking at the minimum. A quick search says he did 4.48 40. So career Special Teams player at worse, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming he can become a good route runner, he'll be a starter in the NFL at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 he and the Iowa receiver Marsette are my fav's for this draft (given where we likely pick a WR and the speed component brought). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that he goes round 3 or 4, but after the misses on DK Metcalf, someone may take a chance on him in round 2. Decent college production (9 tds as a sophomore and 19.2 ypc), but nothing great. Could have been the team and the QB; the Illini have been in the dumps for a long time.
