Broad Jump (Distance/Inches)

Not only were the tight ends tested in how high they can jump, but also how far they can jump, and most of the players who excelled vertically also excelled in the broad jump. Notre Dame’s Cole Kmet is widely regarded as one of the more athletic tight ends in this draft class, and he put on quite the display on Thursday.

  1. Keene, Dalton, Virginia Tech, 125.0
  2. Kmet, Cole, Notre Dame,123.0
  3. Sullivan, Stephen, LSU, 123.0
  4. Taumoepeau, Charlie, Portland St., 121.0
  5. Woerner, Charlie, Georgia,120.0
  6. O’Grady, C.J., Arkansas, 119.0
  7. Wood-Anderson, Dom, Tennessee, 119.0
  8. Hopkins, Brycen, Purdue, 116.0
  9. Asiasi, Devin, UCLA, 115.0
  10. Bryant, Hunter, Washington, 115.0

Lateral movement and being able to cut on a dime is another skill that NFL scouts look for when scouting any prospect, and the tight end position is no different. Adam Trautman led the way with a dominating score of 6.78, while Portland State’s Charlie Taumoepeau nearly cracked the 6 second mark as well.

  1. Trautman, Adam, Dayton, 6.78

20-yard shuttle (seconds)

In the 20-yard shuttle, Dalton Keene from Virginia Tech led the way, notching a mark that could have landed him in the wide receiver conversation with a time of 4.19. Both Taumoepeau and Trautman followed with a 4.27 mark, while Brycen Hopkins from Purdue rounded out the top-4 with a mark of 4.28.

  1. Keene, Dalton, Virginia Tech, 4.19

dark. Next. Las Vegas Raiders: The Athletic mock draft predicts Raiders selections

The Las Vegas Raiders are basically set at the tight end position in 2020, as Waller, Derek Carrier, and Foster Moreau are all under contract. The team spent a fourth round pick on Moreau last season after a solid 2019 NFL Combine, and while they have their trio heading into next season, Mayock most certainly is taking diligent notes no matter the position group.
