Georgia Bulldogs Fans Are Well Excited To Welcome The Four New Signal….

Crazy verticals, incredible strength, and blazing speed. Georgia football has sent some special athletes to the NFL Combine.

Georgia is one of the most elite NFL pipelines. Every year, the NFL Draft is littered with former Bulldogs. Most of that has to do with their play on the field, but every now and then, a former Georgia player will boost his draft stock by putting on a show at the NFL Combine. Here are some of the best from the past.

Chris Conley – 2015 – 45 inch vertical

Chris Conley had a solid career at Georgia, but his name was certainly not at the top of the list for wideouts in 2015. His best chance at boosting his draft stock was putting on a show at the combine, and did he ever. Conley measured in at 6-foot-2, ran a 4.35 40-yard dash, and jumped 11’7″ in the broad jump, but his most incredible moment came when he jumped an astounding 45 inches in the vertical. The number tied him for third all-time in NFL Combine history and helped boost him to a third-round pick.

Big Jeff Owens was ahead of his time. Georgia is now known for having freaks like Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter prowling on their defensive fronts, but before them came Owens. At the 2010 Combine, weighing 300 lbs, Owens ran a 4.95 40-yard dash, jumped 30 inches in the vertical, and hit a 9’2″ broad jump. It was on the bench that he would create his legacy, however. Owens repped out 225 lbs 44 times, good for fourth all-time.
