MyCole Pruitt continued to make his case as one of this year's most athletic tight end prospects, turning in the highest vertical jump to go with the fastest 40-yard dash time. Expected to be a mid-to-late-round pick, Pruitt could see his stock rise with another exciting performance at his pro day.

Maxx Williams once again found himself near the top of the group and his consistent combine performance appears to have solidified his status as the draft's top downfield receiver at tight end.

Other Notable Performances

  • Blake Bell, Oklahoma - 33"
  • Nick O'Leary, Florida State - 30.5"

Showing decent explosion in the vertical jump, Blake Bell continues to be an intriguing late-round developmental tight end. Having turned in similar performances in the other combine events, the former quarterback certainly has the necessary athleticism to make the transition.
