Dontayvion Wicks ran the 40-yard dash in 4.62 seconds, reached 39′′ in the vertical leap, and covered 10-10 in the broad jump at the combine. At Virginia’s pro day, he improved his 40 time to 4.52 seconds and completed the three-cone in under seven seconds. Wicks’ Relative Athletic Score rises above 9.0 thanks to increased speed and agility.
After acquiring DJ Moore in a trade for the No. 1 pick in the offseason, wide receiver isn’t an urgent need. Moore joins Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool, both of whom were obtained through trade last year. Still, adding more weapons for your young quarterback Justin Fields is never a negative thing. Wicks is projected to be a Day 2-3 selection.
