Each year, Bruce Feldman looks at the most athletically gifted players in college football for the upcoming season and ranks them based on the "freakiest" players from an athletic or physical standpoint. His most recent list was prior to the 2022 season.
Something of note: This is in all of college football, not just in the particular draft class.
Of our 8 selections, 4 of them showed up on the Freaks list for 2022. The excerpts are below:
Some interesting tidbits from these excerpts:
1. Myles Murphy did not do the broad jump in the off season and his vertical was only 31 inches. So he performed better leading up to the combine than he did at the combine. He did beat his 40 time of "high 4.5s" with a 4.53 though.
2. DJ Turner did not do the 3 cone at the combine, but this states that he could have potentially broken the record had he done it.
3. Iosivas' coach predicted he'd destroy the combine, and he did. Posting a 9.92 RAS.
I'm not sure why the first two did not test in these certain areas, but chances are if they did, we would not have gotten them where we did. If turner breaks the 3 cone record, chances are we aren't getting him at 60. So...that's great haha.
Nice thread CJD. No doubt these guys are physical freaks. A pulled hammy for Murphy, Turner not doing the 3 cone, Yoshi being from a
small school and the fumbles from Chase Brown allowed us to get these guys.
