There may not be the usual NFL Scouting Combine this year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but the top prospects in the 2021 NFL draft class are still taking every opportunity they can to show off their athleticism for league decision-makers.
Georgia’s Eric Stokes, one of this year’s top cornerback prospects, made the most of his trip to the “House of Athlete” Combine put together by former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
Stokes reportedly ran a 4.24-second 40-yard dash, per ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe.
Listed at 6-1, 185 pounds, Stokes has the kind of size/athleticism combo that will have NFL defensive coordinators pounding the table for him in the draft room. After his performance at the HOA Combine, he could easily put himself in the first-round conversation.
