In the months following a stellar final college football season at the University of Florida, Gators edge rusher Jachai Polite saw his prospects fall based off his combine numbers and interviews with NFL scouts that came away less than impressed.
At the combine, he ran a 4.84 40-yard dash and jumped 32 inches. Both numbers are low for a defensive end.
