Winners:

Denzel Mims

Denzel Mims was the biggest winner of the evening. After being labeled just a possession receiver most of the offseason, he showed why he is capable of doing it all at the next level. Mims posted a 4.38 40-yard dash, 38.5” vertical, 131” broad jump, and a 6.66 3-cone drill. He was the best all-around tester of the wide receivers.

Chase Claypool

Chase Claypool is a receiver who might be asked to transition to a tight end at the next level because of his size. But all Claypool did on Thursday was impress. His 4.42 40 and 40.5” vertical were excellent for a 6’4”, 238 pound receiver. He’s a player who should be on Steelers radar.

Albert Okwuegbunam

Albert Okwuegbunam only tested in one drill (the 40-yard dash) but it was as impressive as any single number recorded at the Combine on Thursday. At 6’5” and 258 pounds, Okwuegbunam recorded a blazing 4.49 40. You don’t see that every day.

Michael Pittman

Here’s a guy many thought would test as an average player, but Michael Pittman proved the general public wrong. The USC star recorded a 4.52 40, 36.5” vertical, 121” broad jump, a 6.96 3-cone, and 4.14 20-yard shuttle. These were terrific numbers – especially from a 6’4” wide receiver.
