love these types of guys as prospects (udfas).
Underweight converted TE with as pretty incredible RAS score. Sounds like putty for Stout to mold.
Damn, shame Wisniewski isn’t still playing. Wiz Witt would be an incredible combo.
I’d rather take a chance drafting and developing an athletic freak like this in the later rounds to eventually take over for Lane than take a less athletic guy who is “more polished” in the 1st round that will sit a couple of years.
Now this is the type of news I love to see. OL news is the best news
> At 6071 (six-foot-seven and one-eighth inches) and 302 pounds, Witt clocked a 4.89-second 40-yard dash with a 1.71 10-yard split, 37-inch vertical and a broad jump of 10 feet 3 inches. Among the offensive linemen at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine, Witt’s 40 would have ranked No. 1; his vertical would have tied BYU’s Blake Freeland for the positional top spot; and his broad jump would have been the best among all offensive linemen in the past 10 years (just ahead of Tristan Wirfs’ 10-1). Witt also posted a 7.44 three-cone, 4.62 short shuttle and did 22 reps on the bench press with his 33 1/2-inch arms.
