To bring this into a more local perspective.
Tee Higgins ran a 4.59, with a 1.66 10 yard split and 2.72 20 yard split. He had a 4.53 20 yard shuttle, 31” vertical and 10’3” broad jump.
Fant ran a 4.5, with a 1.55 10 yard split and 2.61 20 yard split. He had a 4.22 20 yard shuttle, 39.5” vertical and 10’7” broad jump.
Noah Fant is an athlete.
FWIW, Mike Gesicki tested similarly to Fant, but also 3 years older.
Good stuff Bengalbug. Impressive stuff and reminds me of why I wanted Fant in that Draft.

EDIT"Well hell I just looked at Hewitt's stats and he had 1 carry in his whole career
Sample plays H-back pretty well but just as a blocker, maybe Fant would do better as he is a much better pass catcher with ten times the speed.
