Alabama’s Julio Jones stole the show with arguably the top performance of the 2011 Combine, clocking a 4.39 40-Yard Dash time in addition to an incredible 11’3″ Broad Jump.
Several small-school prospects stood out, including Edmond Gates [pictured] of D-II Abilene Christian, whose 4.37 40 time tied for first among wide receivers.
