Watch: Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs puts on stunning show at NFL Scouting Combine

Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs checked in at a tidy 6-foot-4 7/8 and 320 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

The huge Hawkeye lineman put on quite the show in Indianpolis, wowing scouts and executives with his agility and ability.

Wirfs pumped out 24 reps of 225 pounds to start his show.

He then nailed this vertical jump, which was the best for a lineman since 2003.

As a matter of perspective, there were 15 wide receivers who had better springs than Wirfs. The Hawkeye star had a higher leao than Oklahoma wide receiver Ceedee Lamb (34.5) and Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (35), among others.

He followed it up with a 10-foot-1-inch broad jump, which equaled the mark for an offensive lineman at the NFL Scouting Combine.

In 2019, Wirfs, who is projected as a mid-first rounder by Draftwire.com, was  named the Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year. Wirfs only gave up two quarterback hits all season. He had shown his strength in the weight room, too.

An extended interview with Wirfs from Indianapolis.
