And you all said Rob Jones wasn't athletic.
2025 NFL Draft
- Thread starter SolterraCyclone
- Start date
Yeah Darien is crushing the measurables/athleticism tests as expected.
Last play in this video. Not only did he run him down. He ran him down after getting caught up in the wash AND had 20 yards to spare

So... pretty average? Jewell hasn't exactly set a super high bar. Not bad. A starter. But not particularly noteworthy.
Jewell did score much better in other RAS scores though.
Possible that Higgins is hurt. Those numbers were pretty shocking given his career.
I get the feeling that Higgins is one of those players that are never going to test well, just is a very good football player. Kind of like Mike Singletary, basically the same size, 6 foot 230, while Higgins is 6 foot and 224. Not saying Higgins is going to the HOF, but EIU got a lot of production out of him the past couple of years.
Yeah? An AJ Klein career is a huge success. I don't understand the response but I probably don't hate Iowa as much as you do

Sorry, no ulterior motive or snark intended. Klein is a good comp to Jewell as well. Being a multi year starter in the NFL is a fine accomplishment. Just trying to draw equivalency.
Excited for Porter. Seems like he's an awesome dude. Will also be great for recruiting and showing how we can develop talent
Just as a fun fact…Dominic Overby is not only taller, but surpassed every single one of Darien’s HS track marks. And fairly comfortably.
Hopefully he works as hard.
He did that so many times. Almost made big runs by the opposing RBs exciting to watch.
He’s like the exact opposite of Brock Purdy. All world measurables. Not a lot of game experience. Luckily he also seems to have a healthy set of intangibles on him. Going to be cool to see all these cyclones drafted into this draft class.

Apparently he has been dealing with a hamstring injury and should improve his numbers at Iowa's pro day.

"Darien Porter, CB, Iowa State
Porter might have helped himself more on Friday than any other corner. He measured in at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, then ran a 4.3-second 40. He also starred in the jumps, leaping 10-foot-11 in the broad jump and 36½ inches in the vertical. He started his college career as a wide receiver before moving to corner in 2022 and continues to improve. At 24 years old, Porter is on the older side but is ideal for a team that uses heavy zone coverage. He was considered a Round 3 guy entering the combine but might have risen into Round 2. -- Reid"

Klein ran a 4.6. Dude was faster than most realized.
I read that, guy is going to have to improve that 40 time quite a bit to move up, because his overall numbers were not good.
