Dontari Poe caught the NFL by storm during the Scouting Combine as the 346-pound defensive tackle out of Memphis ran a 4.87 in the 40-yard dash, along with 44 reps on the bench press.
However, one scout says that it isn't that impressive if you have watched him play.
“He’ll be overdrafted,” he said. “He did all of that at the Combine, so some team will take him way higher than he should go. I mean watch him play, just watch. He didn’t do anything. And he wasn’t playing at a very high level, either. All I know is he had one sack last year and it came against Austin Peay. You probably didn’t even know Austin Peay had a football team.”
Poe declared for the NFL Draft back in December, and with this amazing combine, his stock went higher than he expected. Poe saw himself going in the first or second round, but now some folks are saying that he could land in the top five.
However, some people will pay too much attention to his Combine performance than his actual activities on the gridiron.
