The 2023 NFL Combine took place over the weekend in Indianapolis and five former Arkansas Razorbacks were in attendance.
Linebacker [autotag]Drew Sanders[/autotag], wide receivers [autotag]Jadon Haselwood[/autotag] and [autotag]Matt Landers[/autotag] and offensive linemen [autotag]Dalton Wagner[/autotag] and [autotag]Ricky Stromberg[/autotag] all participated in drills over the weekend in front of scouts from all 32 NFL teams.
Matt Landers was projected to be a mid-to-late round pick in April’s draft after his lone season at Arkansas, but after this weekend he may have helped his draft stock. Landers turned heads by running the third-fastest 40-yard dash time among wide receivers. He even got a shoutout from the NFL’s official Twitter account after his second attempt.

And looks like he didn't even break a sweat. 😅

In his only season with the Razorbacks, Landers became a favorite target for quarterback [autotag]KJ Jefferson[/autotag] and finished the year with 47 receptions for 901 yards and eight touchdowns. With his 6-foot-4 frame and blazing quick speed, it’s hard to see a team not taking a chance on Landers much earlier than expected.
Here’s all of his official results from the 2023 NFL Combine over the weekend. NOTE: Landers did not participate in the 3-cone drill, 20-yard shuttle or bench press
