While Jack Bech didn’t exactly leave Indianapolis with eye-popping athletic numbers (he chose not to run the 40 and had an uninspiring 34.5” vert), he was able to demonstrate some of his agility, strength and route running skills. Bech ended up 8th in his positional group in the 3-come and shuttle drills, and ended up 2nd to only ‘Mr. Swole’ Jaylin Noel (23 reps) in bench press with 19 reps. More importantly Bech showed to be fluid in his routes and had excellent hands in the on-field workouts, traits that match the tape from his 16.7 yard per reception, 1,000 receiving yard season at TCU.

It will be hard for Jack Bech to stand out on draft night. Like a lot of his classmates this year, Bech is projected with a wide range of outcomes in the NFL — he’s currently being mocked as a late day 2 NFL draft pick. I can’t really see him going any higher but there are plenty of teams that would do well to add a solid possession receiver with upside between rounds 3 and 5. The Jets, Bengals, Steelers, Texans, Jaguars would be good role and personnel fits for Bech… and if he lands on the Patriots or Titans he could be a sneaky Alpha on his own team.
