2022 NFL Scouting Combine Wide Receivers

In addition to the trio of receivers, Maryland tight end Chig Okonkwo shined in Indy.

Okonkwo impressed at this year’s East-West Shrine Bowl, and he should continue his ascent on draft boards after a strong workout. His effort started with a 4.52 40-yard dash at 238 pounds, considerably faster than the other tight ends. Okonkwo looked as smooth on the field on Thursday as he did on Saturdays during the season. He didn’t catch every ball thrown his way but showed an ability to track passes over his shoulder and adjust to other throws that weren’t directly on target.

And lastly, Reuter highlighted Liberty quarterback Malik Willis, who has been tabbed by many pundits around the league as the top QB in this year’s draft class. The position group overall hasn’t been highly touted, but Willis is garnering attention.

Willis consistently made things look easy on Thursday night, showing excellent arc on his deep throws. While he did overthrow a couple of shorter targets, his slants got into the receiver’s hands in a hurry. The moment wasn’t too big for him, and he was encouraging his fellow combine participants during their reps. He chose not to run a 40-yard dash in Indianapolis, but he already has plenty of tape that displays what he can do with the ball in his hands.
