Kevin Austin continued a recent trend for Notre Dame wide receivers at the NFL Draft Combine by turning in an incredible all-around performance. Austin’s metrics and rankings among other receivers were as follows: 4.43 sec 40-yard dash (9th), 39-inch vertical (3rd), 6.71 sec 3-Cone drill (1st), 4.15 sec 20-yard shuttle (2nd), and turned in an 11-foot broad jump (5th). All things considered, this was almost exactly what Austin needed to do to bump his draft stock after a fairly non-descript Notre Dame career. However, this performance, along with recent performances by Chase Claypool and Miles Boykin, continues to chip away at the myth that Notre Dame does not/ did not possess enough elite playmakers to compete with the yearly national title contenders.
