The hidden story of this Combine is Georgia Tech developing yet another freakishly large/athletic receiver coming out of their offense that barely ever passes the ball. Darren Waller measured 6'6 238 and ran a 4.46 forty while jumping 37". Every year they put out some complete freak, and the majority of these guys were under-recruited 3* kids from Georgia. I'm surprised that the bigger SEC teams aren't starting to shadow their recruitment; because a lot of these kids could have potentially developed into real top players in more pass-oriented offenses.

I would bet money that Gabe Wright gets drafted by a team like Tampa or Dallas. He ends up going to a place that emphasizes shooting the gap and penetration from their 3tech DT not run stuffing.
A lot of it is that they look for big athletic guys who can block on the perimeter. What would be a raw "project player" for everyone else is perfect for them. Pass catching issues that would be a red flag for others get ignored
Don't forget they have Smelter from GTech who probably would have been 1-2nd RD type guy if it weren't for his knee injury.

May a thousand fleas from a Sultan's camel infest your private parts.
