Oregon stars Bo Nix, Bucky Irving, and Troy Franklin shine bright at the NFL Combine
By Sam Fariss
In the best Duck performance of the day, wide receiver Troy Franklin had an absolutely lights-out showing at the Combine.
Running the sixth-fastest time in the 40-yard dash, Franklin crossed the line in a blazing 4.41 seconds – just 0.07 seconds behind the fastest wideout of the afternoon.
His rock-solid hands were on display during the on-field drills and his route running prowess was a major highlight of his day.
He had the seventh-best vertical jump for the wide receiver group at 39 inches and the 10th-best broad jump at 10 feet, four inches.
On the final day of the NFL Combine, the Ducks will have their final star on display. Jackson Powers-Johnson will take the field as the greatest center in the country coming out of the 2023 season.
Offensive linemen from across the nation will put in work on Day 4 starting at 10 a.m. PT on the NFL Network.
