Jordan Legget numbers
Mar 5, 2017, 9:45 AM
|

40 (dnp) , bench press - 18 (11th) , vertical jump - 33" (8th) , broad jump - 9'6" (12th) , 3 cone drill - 7.12 (8th) , 20yd shuttle - 4.33 (4th) , 60 yd shuttle - 12.06 (3rd) .
Remember he is one of the bigger TE's at the combine . His performance in general was great but his shuttle numbers are awesome for a big guy . Showed out very athletic .

Good numbers but a little concerned about the bench

Seems like a guy his size should be able to bench
225 more than 18 times, though i know it's easier
said than done. My 55 year old self could probably
still do it a dozen times.
He's similar in size to Vic Beasley who did it 35 times.
Guess Beasley's combine numbers in 2015 were beast mode,
freak status.

He is 6'6" with very long arms. Not like Beasley at all. ANd

Beasley was probably the strongest player pound for pound on the team.

This is arguably the best tight end class we have ever seen... most of these guys were running as fast or faster than the RB did with 40 extra pounds on them. Amazing. I thought Jordan did okay but outside of the shuttle drills, he was average at most. And his choice not to run the 40 I'm sure raised some eyebrows.
Then there's the whole, "how good is he at blocking?" question...

An NFL Team Is.....

an extremely talented tight end in Legget. Just remember the awesome athletic effort to score against FSU or the killer catch in " The Drive " against Bama' . He will do well in the NFL and I think he was the best TE in college football last year.

If you look at the criticisms of virtually every scout when it comes to Jordan, you see:
– Poor blocker who lacks functional strength to win the POA
– Too often falls off blocks in space and in a booth
– Wasn’t asked to play in a three point stance or in-line blocker very often, lots of snaps off ball
Bucky Hodges, a physical anomaly, finished top 5 in virtually every drill yesterday at 6'6" 257lbs and was still being called a "loser at the combine" this morning because of his inability to look comfortable in a three-point stance and show that he can play close to the line at the next level. We also didn't play Jordan like a traditional TE, but moreso as a receiver. And 18 reps for a 260lb TE isn't fantastic by any stretch. I know what you're saying and I love me some Jordan's Leggett but most teams consider the TE as a dedicated blocker and expect a lot of work down in on the line. There were multiple instances throughout his college career that I'd begrudgingly have to agree with those criticisms listed above.

A couple of analysts at the Combine this morning were talking about several NFL teams going to using tight ends to catch the ball, instead of the traditional blocking tight ends. They said one of these teams could get a real steal with Jordan Leggett around the 3rd or 4th round.

3rd or 4th round seems about right. Last week he was seen as a 1st round pick... just don't believe that's going to happen. I wish him all the best regardless.
