In addition to his blazing 40-yard-dash time, Metcalf did 27 reps on the bench press at 225 pounds and posted a 40.5″ vertical. His stats all compare well to Julio Jones:

Julio Jones: 6'3, 220, 4.34, 38.5", 17 reps
DK Metcalf: 6'3, 228, 4.33, 40.5", 27 reps

If a 40-time can propel one’s draft stock, we could be looking at a first-round pick in Metcalf.

The former Ole Miss receiver claims he has under 2 percent body fat. He had 26 catches for 569 yards and 5 touchdowns as a redshirt sophomore last season before suffering a neck injury.
