LOOK. Shaun Wade shows out at Ohio State pro day No. 2.

Ohio State DB Shaun Wade showed everyone why his skills could translate to a special player at the next level during OSU’s second pro day.

Although most were interested to see Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields do his thing at OSU’s second pro day, cornerback Shaun Wade was also doing showing us his athletic skills. It all went a little under the radar because of the buzz surrounding Fields, but as a reminder, Wade did not work out at pro day No. 1 because of a turf toe issue that rendered him incapable of showing his best.

He may not have been complete 100% on Wednesday either, but he showed all the NFL types that were there why he was projected as a first-round pick at the end of last season.

Not only did Wade throw down a 4.43 40-time, but he also lept out of the building with a 37.5″ verticle, and put down a broad jump of 10′ 3″. Those numbers, by the way, fair very well in relation to what other first-round defensive backs have put up for OSU in other combine-type workouts.

The 40-time, in particular, is impressive seeing how Wade is probably not hitting on all cylinders quite yet. A turf toe issue can linger for a while and pushing off at the start had to feel a little uncomfortable. Here’s a look at Wade’s 40-yard dash performance.

It’s unlikely that Wade’s performance is going to make anyone revisit his fall out of the first round, but what it likely did do is settle some that had questions of whether he had it athletically still or not. Maybe, he did enough for someone to even take a shot at him in the second round, we just don’t know yet — and won’t — until all the drama unfolds in Cleveland at the 2021 NFL draft.

With as high of a ceiling as what Wade has, he might make an NFL team look like draft savants a couple of years down the line. Here is some more video of Wade’s workout Wednesday all courtesy of the Ohio State Dept. of Athletics.
