10 Philadelphia Eagles prospects who rose and fell at combine, WR edition
3. Chase Claypool
The NFL Combine provides an opportunity for the less-talked-about prospects to make some real noise. It’s always fun when it happens. Don’t look now but Chase Claypool racked up 66 receptions, 1,037 yards, and 13 touchdowns in his final season with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and he just ran a 4.43-second 40. Cue the controversy and the ‘dark-horse’ tweets.
4. Quez Watkins
Take everything that was just said about making a name for yourself and making noise, and throw Quez Watkins‘ name into that discussion. Try a 4.36-second 40 on for size. That’s faster than everyone not named Henry Ruggs if anyone is paying attention.

5. Donovan Peoples-Jones
In 2006, Gerald Sensabaugh set an NFL Combine record in the high jump with a 46-inch vertical jump. 14 years later, Donovan Peoples-Jones turned heads with a mark of 44.5. He also ran a 4.48 40, and that may convince a few teams and scouts that he possesses that blend of being a speed guy and a red-zone target that so many pro offenses clamor for.
He needed a big day after a less-than-stellar showing in his final season with the Michigan Wolverines, and he got one.
