GREEN BAY, Wis. -- How can a guy named Speedy be known more for his jumping ability?
When he jumps higher than any receiver at the combine.
Yes, Devante 'Speedy' Noil turned heads during his workout in Indianapolis when he jumped 43.5 inches in the vertical test. Although he did not run the 40-yard dash there, he ran a respectable 4.45 at his Texas A&M pro day on March 30.
But it’s his vertical jump that most likely earned him a tryout with the Green Bay Packers during their rookie camp this weekend.
