February 28th may have been the day that former Iowa standout Tristan Wirfs, an offensive lineman who stands at 6-foot-4 and 320 pounds, locked himself into the top 10 of the 2020 NFL Draft. Wirfs ranked 12th in our first consensus mock back in December, with an average draft position of 12.8, but his stock is rising after a record-breaking day at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Wirfs set records in both the broad jump (10’1″) and vertical jump (36.5″) at his position – and even when compared to some of the most explosive athletes at the combine, Wirfs’ numbers hold up in those categories. His vertical jump would rank in a tie for 16th among wide receivers.

In the 40-yard dash, Wirfs set an official time of 4.85, the fastest at his position by more than half a tenth.
