Player: Calvin Austin

School: Memphis

Height and Weight: 5’9”, 162

Combine Results:

• 40: 4.32
• Bench:
• Broad Jump: 135’
• Vertical Jump: 39’
• 3 Cone: 6.65
• Shuttle: 4.07
• Other Notes: One of the biggest combine winners. Tested in the top three in the 40, both jumps, the 3 cone, and the shuttle. Also a standout at the senior bowl.

Strengths: Elite athletic profile, gets creative when beating press coverage, experience as a punt returner, has the speed to take the top off, can explode out of release at times, pretty good hands, very good route running (showed this off at the Senior Bowl)

Weaknesses: Undersized, pretty easy to bring down in the open field, not overly elusive or shifty, 

Projected Draft Day: Day 3

Player Comparison: Scotty Miller

Player Summary: Austin can be a legitimate starter in this league despite size concerns. He has the speed, route running, and hands to stick as a boundary receiver that keeps the safeties honest or a player who can take a slant to the house at a moments notice. He may not possess the elusiveness or size to be an effective slot receiver or in the gadget role, but there is doubt he can be a starting deep threat in the league.
