UCLA receiver Jordan Payton, ever-briefly a commit to the University of Washington, was one of the standouts at the NFL combine Saturday.
The day before Jordan Payton began a career that ended in him becoming the leading receiver in UCLA history, he went on national television and committed to spend “the next three to four years at the University of Washington.’’
A highly-touted receiver from Thousand Oaks, Calif., in the recruiting class of 2012, Payton was a Husky for barely 18 hours.
After announcing on ESPNU the afternoon before letter-of-intent day that he would attend Washington, Payton changed his mind and signed instead with UCLA the following morning.
