The NFL Combine has come to an end and it was a rather fruitful week for the Longhorns in attendance. Seven Longhorns were in Indianapolis this week and multiple of them boosted their draft stock.
Let’s get the specifics of how the Longhorn contingent performed in Indianapolis:
DB Jaylon Guilbeau
Did not participate in drills.
Guilbeau did not participate in any of the testing this weekend. He did get measured, coming in at 5-foot-11, 190-pounds with 30 ⅛” arms. He’ll likely do all his on-field testing at Texas’ Pro Day.
OL DJ Campbell
The three-year starter for the Longhorns put together a nice performance this week. He measured in at 6-foot-3, 313-pounds with 34 ¼” arms, all great size for IOL in the NFL. Campbell ran a 5.01 seconds with a 1.76 10-yard split, both in the top half of combine OL. I imagine did little to massively improve his draft standing but didn’t fall substantially either. He still profiles a Day 3 pick likely.
TE Jack Endries
Jack Endries did not have the year at Texas he wanted but did a nice job in Indianapolis this weekend. Endries finished ranked in the top 10 TEs in every drill he took part in, including being 2nd in 10-yard split, only behind Kenyon Sadiq. Endries likely still finds himself in the TE4-7 range of this draft but this week likely did him some favors.
LB Anthony Hill Jr.
To the surprise of no one in Austin, Anthony Hill Jr. put on a show in Indianapolis this week. He tested in the top three of both the 40-yard dash, 10-yard split and broad jump. Add that to weighing in at 23-pounds with 32 ⅜” arms, Hill absolutely turned some heads this week. Sonny Styles seems to be the comfortable LB1 but Hill has begun to stake his claim to LB2 and a possible first round pick.
LB Trey Moore
Moore was a Longhorn, like Endries, in need of a strong performance and that’s what he got. Finished in the top six of EDGEs in the 40-yard dash, 10-yard split and broad jump, showing off his elite athleticism. Moore is an intriguing prospect heading into the draft but I’m sure many teams took a second look at his tape. The EDGE class is strong but Moore could find his way into a Day Two selection.
DB Malik Muhammad
This was likely the biggest riser of the group. Malik Muhammad put together an incredible showing, running a 4.2 40-yard dash with the best 10-yard split among CBs. He also shined during the on-field drills, showing his elite changing of direction and ball skills. Muhammad measuring in with 32 ⅜” arms is unsurprising to Texas fans and shows he has the length to be an outside CB in the NFL. This CB class is very strong but Muhammad could very well be an early second round pick when it’s all said and done.
DB Michael Taaffe
Taaffe put together a positive performance in Indianapolis but likely didn’t blow anyone away. He ran a 4.5 40-yard dash and put together a clean performance in the on-field drills, but didn’t steal headlines necessarily. After Caleb Downs and Dillon Thieneman, the safety class is wide open and Taaffe, with a strong Pro Day, could fly up the boards.
