Peoples-Jones’ 11-foot-7 broad jump is tied for the third-best mark among all combine receivers since 2006.
“I can still be explosive, still fast, still separate,” Reagor said.
TCU product Jalen Reagor is a player who has the potential to be a significant part of that but who isn’t talked about in the same breath as CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs. Yet he ran an official 4.42-second 40 on Thursday.A player who may end up being turned into a pass-catching tight end at the next level, former Fighting Irish star Chase Claypool blew the hinges off the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.One of the most stunning bits of news to come out of Thursday’s combine was that Tee Higgins opted not to participate in any of the field drills because he’s “resting,” as reported by Kim Jones of NFL Network.Wilcox was doing the gauntlet drill, which has receivers run horizontally across the field, turning from side to side as quarterbacks throw the ball in quick succession. He'll most likely get a $150,000 stipend for 2020, although it's possible he could get the $350,000 high-risk stipend.Upon his arrival in Houston, his first goal was to lose that extra weight. Nine pounds might not seem like a lot, but for Reagor it made a big difference. Danny Arnold, the owner of Plex in Houston, called that an obvious mistake. Here’s a couple of fascinating nuggets that highlight just how incredible this was.Here’s the crazy part: Ruggs didn’t even look like he was trying. He ranked in the 5th and 8th percentile, respectively, among receivers. Like many pro days throughout the country, TCU’s pro day, originally scheduled for March 27, was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The whole thing lasted about 45 minutes and the video was sent out to NFL teams shortly after, while ESPN’s Adam Schefter also shared it with his 7.8 million Twitter followers. "I've noticed that I'm a big virtual learner and I like to see it and be active in it, and there's other guys that can just hear it and articulate it, and they're teaching me how they learn and that's also helping me," he said. On that morning, Arnold and his crew set up on one of their fields and spent about 35-45 minutes positioning camera equipment to capture every angle of the workout.
Not only did Reagor have a disappointing 40 time, his times in the 3-cone drill and the 20-yard shuttle were awful.
The very next day, Reagor showed up at Plex in Houston ready to work. The good news for Reagor is that both of his jumps at the combine were very good. Each player is out there giving it their all as they attempt to make a good impression on their potential future employer. But for Reagor, it seemed pretty clear his added weight affected his performance. During his media interview at the combine — before he tested — Reagor seemed happy about what he called a “steady” weight and thought he’d be able to play at around 205, 206. Reagor was listed at 195 pounds on his bio at TCU but he showed up to the combine at 206. “He was with someone (in training) that told him you should be stronger and thicker and that’s a huge mistake,” Arnold said. From there, they let Reagor warm up for 45 minutes as former NFL quarterback Jeff Blake threw him passes. But they all came across very impressively. They trusted what they saw on tape. It's not something I can live with. That's also what I've picked up as well. We might not know for a few years. “He’s going to be one that gets to the field house early and he’s going to be one of the last ones to leave,” Arnold said. The pro day simply backed that up. They all sounded as determined to learn the offense, the defense, special teams, to the best of their ability, no matter what roadblocks are in their way.To be clear, the Eagles didn’t draft Reagor at No.
