If you're into forty yard sprints, vertical jumps - and yes, hand size, you've come to the right place. Follow along below for LIVE updates throughout the night as the NFL's top Quarterback and Wide Receiver prospects will put their skills on display at the NFL combine.
If you missed it earlier, Pitt Star QB Kenny Pickett's hand size was measured at 8.5 inches. That would be the smallest hands for a starting QB in the NFL.
5:30 PM: Memphis WR Calvin Austin posted an 11'3 inch broad jump, which is outrageous for a 5'8 receiver
Takeaway: Austin is a weapon who is a projected 3rd round pick. He has a skillset similar to former Memphis WR-turned-RB Antonio Gibson (current Washington Commander) because he can line up all over the field.
5:30 PM: Arkansas WR Treylon Burks posts a 33 inch vertical high jump.
Takeaway: Burks is generally regarded as one of the top WR prospects in this class. If the Steelers consider a WR in the 1st round, which is unlikely - Burks would be an absolute home run.
6:00 PM: Pitt QB Kenny Pickett WILL NOT run the 40 yard dash.
Takeaway: This is surprising, as Pickett had previously mentioned he would run. In fact, only 2 QB's are participating in the 40 yard dash. Notre Dame's Jack Coan, and Kent State's Dustin Crum.
6:05 PM: Memphis WR Calvin Austin runs 4.32 40 yard dash.
Purdue WR David Bell runs 4.65 40 yard dash.
Takeaway: Both of these were on their first attempt. Austin is blazing fast, and is testing out of this world. He will sneak into the 2nd round. And that's a slow time for the refined David Bell. He's one of the most polished WR's in the class - but wasn't expected to test well.
6:15 PM: Penn State WR Jahan Dotson runs a 4.41 40 yard dash.
Takeaway: NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah compares Dotson to Diontae Johnson, but says Dotson has better hands. Dotson is likely a late Day 2 prospect.
6:15 PM: Western Michigan WR Skyy Moore runs a 4.37 40 yard dash.
Takeaway: Moore, a Shady Side Academy alum, is a prospect who is fully on the Steelers radar. He played with Mike Tomlin's son, Dino, in High School at Shady Side. He also probably just ran himself into the 2nd round of the NFL draft.
6:55 PM: Cincinnati QB Desmond Ridder posts a 33 inch vertical jump.
Takeaway: Like it or not, Ridder will be in the conversation at pick 20 for the Steelers. With that said, I'm not sure that a vertical jump matters much for a QB.
