The 40-yard dash wasn’t the only area where Austin stood out at the combine.

Earlier in the day, the 5-foot-7 receiver also displayed a 39″ inch vertical, which tied him for the best among receivers. His 11’3″ broad jump was the best among receivers.

Austin isn’t just about speed and jumping either. He produced on the field. As a senior, Austin had 74 catches for 1,149 yards and 8 touchdowns. As a junior, he had 63 catches for 1,053 yards and 11 touchdowns.
