There’s no excuse for someone who’s six-foot-one and 202 pounds to run the 40-yard dash in 4.73 seconds. That just isn’t going to cut it. That makes any serious football aficionado start asking questions like the following.

Is it possible that you can cover this guy with another team’s safety? He can’t play inside or outside can he? Are we talking about someone that we use a draft pick on, or are we discussing possible undrafted guys who can be added to the preseason roster later?

Quintez Cephus will be remembered for doing some good things at the collegiate level for the Wisconsin Badgers. In 30 career games, he hauled in 34 receptions in his first two seasons before snagging 59 receptions for 901 yards and seven scores in his Junior season, but the questions now should be about who’s in his ear.

He should have stayed in school for one more tour of duty because, with his marginal footwork and the belief that he’ll have an inability to leave defenders, it’s puzzling why he’d enter a draft with one of the richest wide receiver classes we’ve ever seen. Unless he explodes at his Pro Day, it’s hard to imagine him being anything more than a late-rounder if he’s that. His stock is dropping.
