Former USC Trojan quarterback Kedon Slovis was the most impressive quarterback in the third tier (projected Day 3) of gunslingers in Indianapolis this weekend.
Slovis garnered widespread attention for his 40-yard dash time. He finished with an elite 4.55-second time to rank first among all participating quarterbacks.
Slovis’s time ranked 65th out if the 321 players who attended the NFL combine this year.
A number of other notable quarterbacks at the combine declined to participate in the 40-yard dash, including projected first-round talents Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels.
Slovis also posted a 1.58-second 10-yard split time along with a 30-inch vertical leap and 9-feet, 10-inch broad jump.
In the actual quarterbacking drills, Slovis made a number of impressive throws on different short, intermediate and deep routes to earn praise from the NFL Network broadcast crew.
Slovis started eight games for BYU in 2023, throwing for 1,716 yards and 12 touchdowns to earn five victories before shoulder and elbow concerns sidelined him for the rest of the season. Across five years at USC, Pitt, and with the Cougars, Slovis racked up 11,689 passing yards, 83 total scores and a 140.6 quarterback rating. He earned Pac-12 Freshman of the Year honors in 2019 along with a First Team All-Pac-12 nod in 2020, both with the Trojans.
Slovis currently projects to be either a seventh-round draft selection or an undrafted free agent.
