2017 NFL Combine: Best Performance in Each Drill
By Tyler Brooke
3-Cone Drill: Kevin King (6.56 seconds)
The Washington Huskies have two potential first-round defensive backs in Budda Baker and Sidney Jones in this year’s draft. However, there was another DB coming out of Washington who took the combine by storm.
Washington’s Kevin King was a beast on Monday, running a respectable 4.43 40-yard dash. However, where he really made his money was in the agility drills. His 3-cone drill time of 6.56 seconds helped him squeak by Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey and Western Kentucky’s Taywan Taylor for the best time in the drill.
For someone who comes in at 6-foot-3 as a cornerback, that was an awfully impressive number to post in the 3-cone drill.
Melifonwu wasn’t the only prospect to dominate the NFL Scouting Combine this weekend, however, because King was also able to take the best performance in two different drills.
Honorable Mention: Christian McCaffrey and Taywan Taylor (6.57 seconds)
