2017 NFL Combine: Best Performance in Each Drill
By Tyler Brooke
60-Yard Shuttle: Shelton Gibson (10.71 seconds)
The 60-yard shuttle isn’t the most popular drill for fans and scouts, but don’t tell West Virginia’s Shelton Gibson that, because he crushed the rest of the competition in the drill.
Gibson showed off his long-distance speed in the 60-yard shuttle, clocking in at 10.71 seconds. The next closest performance didn’t come close, with Christian McCaffrey clocking in at 11.03 seconds.
Although Gibson isn’t the biggest name at the wide receiver position in this draft, he put his name on the map in September when he dropped 171 yards and two touchdowns on just six receptions against Youngstown State. He finished the season with 43 catches for 951 yards and eight touchdowns.
Next: Three-Round NFL Mock Draft
Gibson didn’t have the best 40-yard dash (4.5 seconds) or vertical jump (32 inches), but he graded out really well in the agility drills, and he’s hoping that those will help him improve his draft stock heading into the draft in April.
Honorable Mention: Christian McCaffrey (11.03 seconds)
