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.
Calvin Austin III’s testing numbers so far per the NFL’s website
39-inch vertical jump – tied for best among this year’s WRs with two others
11’3” broad jump – best among WRs
WRs haven’t run the 40 yet but that's a heck of start for CA3
