4. Zay Jones’ standout performance 

Gifted with a 6-foot-2, 202-pound frame, this East Carolina product was considered a potential late Day 2 pick in the upcoming NFL draft heading into the combine. Jones did nothing to hurt his stock with a tremendous performance in Indianapolis. In fact, there’s a scenario here that leads us to believe he will shoot up the draft board as the process continues to play out.

That right there is among the most impressive individual performances at the combine. Jones didn’t stop there, putting up a tremendous 4.45 40-yard dash, 133-inch broad jump and 11.17 60-yard shuttle. Those latter two performances placed him among the top-five at the wide receiver position.

In terms of the position-specific drills, Jones was equally impressive.

It will be interesting to see what this does for Jones’ stock moving forward. He was uber productive for East Carolina as a senior last season, putting up 158 receptions for 1,746 yards and eight touchdowns. Now that he impressed in Indianapolis, the sky seems to be the limit here.
