Every year NFL draft prospects do ridiculous things, either at the combine or on the field during their college career.

0:48.2

Every class has wow players.

So that's what we are talking about today.

1:14.1

The 12 craziest stats about players in the 26 NFL draft to help you get to know this class a little bit better. And one of them, we did this separately with our notes, we came up with the same exact stat for particular players. So I think we'll have to start with that guy. Well, let's dive into that one. Believe this is a wide receiver out of Georgia. Yeah, well, he started at USC. A five star is supposed to save the entire program and was not my favorite player at USC.

2:15.6

Our buddy Ron Stewart put this into perspective percent of college
