INDIANAPOLIS — South Carolina security Nick Emmanwori put himself on the shortest of lists together with his work Friday on the NFL scouting mix.
Emmanwori, who’s the No. 2 security on ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr.’s newest Massive Board and was the No. 27 choose in Kiper’s newest mock draft, made probably the most of his exercise at Lucas Oil Stadium throughout the mix’s second night time of on-field drills.
The 6-foot-3⅛, 220-pound All-American security blistered the 40-yard sprint in an official 4.38 seconds and had a staggering 43-inch vertical leap and 11-foot-6 standing broad leap to go together with clean work in place drills.

In response to ESPN Analysis, it made him considered one of simply 4 gamers 6-3 or taller to have topped 40 inches within the vertical leap and run a sub-4.4 time within the 40-yard sprint since 2003. Bryce Ford-Wheaton (2023), Tariq Woolen (2022) and DK Metcalf(2019) are the others.
Emmanwori can also be the one security on the mix since at the least 2003 to have a sub-4.4 40, leap at the least 40 inches within the vertical and leap at the least 11 ft within the broad leap.
He had predicted Thursday on the mix that he may put up eyebrow-raising numbers in his exercise. Requested what he may run within the 40, Emmanwori rapidly supplied “4.3.”
“I heard just a little little bit of talks about being the quickest DB,” Emmanwori stated Thursday. “I do suppose I’m one of many quickest. Prime three, possibly high 5 for positive. … I do not suppose you have ever seen a security like me. Nicely, there are a number of dudes that got here by this league, however a security like me hasn’t come by this league for a very long time. My measurement, my velocity, my capacity.”
Final season, Emmanwori was considered one of two gamers within the nation to return two interceptions for touchdowns as he completed with 88 tackles and 4 interceptions total.
In his newest mock draft, Kiper had the Baltimore Ravens choose Emmanwori with the No. 27 choose. ESPN’s Matt Miller has Emmanwori at No. 28 in his newest rankings, and Jordan Reid has Emmanwori as his No. 2 security on the board.
