Big News from Cole's Pro Day

Here's a web report on Pro Day at BG.

BOWLING GREEN (March 15th) senior wide receiver COLE MAGNER ran between 4.55 and 4.58 in the 40... 3.82/4.08 short shuttle... 6.42/6.49 three-cone... 10.95 60-yard... 31" vertical... 9'8" broad jump... weighed in at 6010, 195 pounds... when compared to the results of WR's at the Combine his three-cone times are amazing, as only Indiana's Courtney Roby was the closest at 6.61, plus no one over 190 pounds even broke below 6.9, and there were only seven total WR's at the Combine that broke 7.0... a total of 11 teams were represented at this workout.

AZZ commentary has analyzed this as follows. Being measure at a real 6'1 really helps him get drafted. His cone time (which is supposedly why he is so good at getting open with a little burst of speed) is an absolute revelation. I believe he will be drafted.

Could he be the Kircus-like story the Lions have been looking for? I think that he would make a nice addition at slot receiver, after his performance I saw last year with Josh Harris chucking him the ball.

I really think Cole is the kind of player who can make it to the NFL. He's as tough as nails, and has a football head. Runs real precise routs. I think he can go across the middle as a possession receiver.

The tests only make it more likely. I also think he would be a monster on special teams.
