Tariq absolutely dominated

 

[g0lftime]

He needs to get drafted by someone. Has all the measureables.

Always love seeing Jim Nagy pumping up his Senior Bowl guys. He was quoted by ESPN that he shared with the 2022 Senior Bowl guys that "out of all the guys that have shown up in Mobile for this game, more than 89% of them have been on a roster as a rookie." IIRC he played LB at the Senior Bowl and did great. I wonder if that's where his future would be in the NFL (and special teams since that's where a LOT of guys get their start).

From the GT app report -

The 18 former Yellow Jackets that participated included: defensive tackle Djimon Brooks (who measured officially at 6-1, 286 pounds), defensive back Tariq Carpenter (6-3, 230), defensive end Antonneous Clayton (6-3, 255), offensive lineman Devin Cochran (6-7, 306), tight end/long snapper Jack Coco (6-2, 248), linebacker Quez Jackson (6-0, 221), offensive lineman Ryan Johnson (6-6, 314), linebacker Bruce Jordan-Swilling (6-0, 215), punter Austin Kent (6-1, 217), offensive lineman Kenneth Kirby (6-4, 305), running back Jordan Mason (5-11, 223), wide receiver Kyric McGowan (5-11, 200), defensive back Tobias Oliver (6-0, 204), wide receiver Azende Rey (5-11, 215), defensive back Tre Swilling (6-1, 196), defensive back Juanyeh Thomas (6-1, 213), running back Jerry Howard, Jr.* (5-11, 222) and defensive back Ajani Kerr** (5-11, 203).

In addition to having their official heights and weights recorded, the professional football hopefuls were put through a wide variety of speed and strength measurements, including the bench press, 40-yard dash, short-shuttle and three-cone runs, broad jump and vertical jump.

Carpenter and Mason had some of the most impressive showings of the day, including both clocking sub-4.5-second 40-yard times. Carpenter also had a 39-inch vertical jump (which is just a half-inch shy of the highest jump by a DB at the 2022 NFL Combine) and an 11-4 broad jump, while Mason bench-pressed 225 pounds 21 times (which would have tied for tops among all RBs at this year’s Combine).

Other top performances included Brooks, Clayton, Cochran, Johnson, Kirby, McGowan and Oliver on the bench press (all had 20-plus reps), Swilling, Jordan-Swilling and McGowan on the vertical jump (37, 36 and 35.5 inches, respectively), Swilling and Thomas on the short-shuttle (4.15 and 4.18 seconds, respectively) and Swilling, Oliver and McGowan on the broad jump (10-6, 10-3 and 10-2, respectively).

The prospects also performed in a variety of position-specific on-field drills.

Tariq absolutely dominated

I'll say it again: Tariq left a LOT of money on the table by not moving to LB during his time at GT. You can probably say the same thing about Juanyeh.

Both will get a shot in the NFL because of their length, athleticism, and versatility.

Great to see some positive performances and wish them all luck. The more who get drafted only helps with recruiting. However, one might wonder with all the positive individual measurables how the individual parts could add up to one of the worst team defenses in the entire 2021 FBS?

I see McGowan having the greatest likelihood of a long career in the NFL. I don't see any reason why he can't play the Hunter Renfrow, Cole Beasley role converting 3rd downs out of the slot.
