Washington Pro Day Yields Standout Hand-Timed Results With Heavy NFL Presence

Scouts will weigh the hand-timed numbers against tape plus medicals before finalizing April draft boards.

Overview

  • Seventeen Huskies worked out in Seattle before representatives from 29 NFL teams, with the Falcons, Chiefs and Rams not spotted, according to Huskies Wire.
  • Wide receiver Omari Evans posted an unofficial 4.25-second 40-yard dash and a 41-inch vertical, with reporters cautioning that the times were hand-timed.
  • Defensive tackle Anterio Thompson logged a reported 4.73 in the 40 during a strong audition for late-round or undrafted free-agent consideration.
  • None of Washington’s five combine participants ran the 40, as projected early pick Denzel Boston instead improved his vertical to 37.5 inches and set 12 pre-draft visits, starting with the Raiders, per ESPN.
  • Edge rusher Zach Durfee recorded a 39-inch vertical and an unofficial 4.69 in the 40, and he and Thompson said they considered NCAA waivers before proceeding with draft plans.
