Vernon Davis came out of Maryland as perhaps the nation’s finest collegiate tight end. The 6-foot-3, 254-pounder was an All-American and a finalist for the Mackey Award. But what really separated Davis from the pack was his workout at the NFL combine. Despite his hulking size, he clipped off a 4.38-second 40-yard dash and leaped 42 inches in the vertical jump. Most notably, Davis sprung 10 feet 8 inches in the broad jump, nearly a foot farther than runner-up Marcedes Lewis.
