Today sees this year’s NFL scouting combine draw to a close. Over the last 5 days, 300 of the hottest prospects in American Football have been put through their paces as they look to secure a lucrative contract in the professional ranks for next year.
The combination of physical and mental assessment, combined with intense media scrutiny, proved a real challenge to some of the celebrity names entering the draft. Notably, this year’s Heissman Trophy winner and star quarterback for Auburn, Cam Hamilton, failed to ignite and his stock is likely to take a tumble in the lead-up to April 28th.
However, others really stepped up to the plate and seized their opportunity to impress the watching world. Julio Jones, Alabama’s towering wide receiver, cemented his place as a favourite to be one of the hottest picks as he posted the longest standing jump and the third fastest 40-yrd sprint time. In this first clip, NFL analysts use Dartfish Stromotion technology to illustrate the enormity of Jones’ leap, highlighting huge power base.
In this second clip we see Jones’ sprint compared, using Dartfish Simulcam, with the other fastest 40-yrd times of the week. An impressive performance for a man who tips the scales at nearly 16 stone. Astonishingly, Jones subsequently revealed that he completed the week with a fractured foot and is going straight into surgery following the combine, a truly amazing achievement but will the prospect of a spell on the sidelines hamper his chances of being a top pick in the draft? All will be revealed on 28th April in New York City.
