Winner: WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, Michigan
Peoples-Jones wasn’t exactly the most productive wide receiver at Michigan but some of that might be able to be written off as lackluster quarterback play. At least that’s the case Peoples-Jones can make thanks to impressing at the 2020 NFL Combine.
Peoples-Jones measured out at 6-foot-2 and 212 pounds which makes his 4.48-second 40-yard dash pretty respectable. However, it was his 44.5-inch vertical jump and 139-inch broad jump that rank among the best combine performances for a wide receiver.
Peoples-Jones did exactly what should have been his goal at the 2020 NFL Combine: Force scouts and general managers to go back and look at his film a little more or at least get excited about his upside. It shouldn’t turn him into a first-round prospect but it could ensure he gets picked in the second round.
