Combine Day 1
Biggest Surprise
Kevin Austin WR Notre Dame – 6’2”, 200, 4.43 40 (12th), 6.71 3-cone (first), 4.15 short shuttle (second), 39-inch vert (fifth), 11-foot broad jump (fifth). In 2021 he had 48 catches for 888 yards, 7 TDs. Before 2021 he did nothing for the Irish. At the combine, he blows it up with his athleticism. That’s the kind of performance that will make the scouts go back and take a second look. Austin may turn into another David Givens type of receiver. If you remember, in the 2002 draft, the Patriots defaulted on their 7th round selection, a compensation pick, and selected David Givens with the next pick #253.
