So when running back Nic Grigsby — generally considered a late-round possibility — went up, up, up for a vertical jump of 45 inches, scouts figured something must be wrong.

“They said it was bent. They said it was on a hill. They said it was the wind,” Grigsby said. “I don’t care. They said they had never seen it before.”

Scouts re-measured the bar and made Grigsby do it over again.
He jumped 43.5 inches.

“You’ve got to make a statement,” Grigsby said.
And then Grigsby made scouts rub their eyes again.

He posted scorching times in the 40-yard dash, including unofficial times of 4.34 seconds for his first attempt and 4.40 seconds (with a slight stumble) in his second attempt. Grigsby said a couple of scouts had him in the 4.2 range on his first run. Another estimate was 4.31 seconds.

A 45 inch vertical and 4.3something in the 40. Explosive.

I'm not too surprised. The times I'd see him play he seemed fast and exciting. I don't know how good he actually is.

He always seemed seemed fast and productive when I went to the games, but hobbled by injuries. Bulking up and showing off that sort of athleticism should certainly raise his stock. With Barber almost certainly being shown the door, I could see the Cowboys picking him up in the mid rounds.
