Iowa State WR Jaylin Noel had himself a great day in Indy, putting both his high end athleticism and his route running on display.
Like a true competitor, Jaylin Noel went out and tested in all events and drills at the combine. Good thing he did as he ended up in the top 10 of nearly every event. His 4.39 40 yard dash was top 10 in his positional group, his broad jump (3rd), 3 cone (8th), and shuttle (8th) were each top 10 out of all combine participants. He had the second highest vertical for the whole combine at 41.5”, and the cherry on top was his 23 bench reps — which was tied for 1st out of all wide receivers AND running backs. Guys… he had more bench reps that Harold Fannin Jr and Elijah Arroyo 👀
Noel has rightfully been rising up draft boards all offseason, he dominated DB’s at the senior bowl and now dominated 90% of all participants at the combine. His 99th percentile burst score might just help Noel leapfrog fellow Iowa State receiver Jayden Higgins and escalate him into the second round of the NFL Draft. Not many teams will want to pass on a fast, explosive, strong receiver that has the ability to get past defenders. Think Golden Tate or Jayden Reed… except faster and with more burst.
