Michigan wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones is 6-2 and 212 pounds. He’s also got springs in his legs, apparently. Check out this remarkable 44 1/2 vertical jump by the Wolverine at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

Peoples-Jones had 103 catches in three seasons with the Wolverines. He averaged almost 13 yards per grab for Jim Harbaugh and scored 14 touchdowns.
“He’s just not real dynamic, in my opinion, when I studied him,” NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah told the Detroit Free Press. “That’s kind of the knock on him. In a normal draft, he’s probably a second-round pick. In this draft, he’s probably a third- or fourth-round pick, just because there’s so much depth.”
His leaping ability could impact what scouts think.
