NFL Rebels: A Look at Ole Miss’ Dontario Drummond, Braylon Sanders at the 2022 Combine

OXFORD, Miss. — Ole Miss wide receivers Dontario Drummond and Braylon Sanders performed physical testing and on-field drills at the NFL Combine Thursday.

The day included action from tight ends, wide outs and quarterbacks; however, Rebel signal-caller Matt Corral is not participating as he continues recovery from a high ankle sprain suffered in the Sugar Bowl. He will participate in Ole Miss Pro Day held later this month.

Dontario Drummond

Dontario led things off with a 4.61 40-yard dash. He also registered a 34-inch vertical and 10’2″ in the broad jump.

It will sure seem strange not having @b_sanders on the field in the Vaught, but we will all be cheering for him wherever he goes in the NFL. 💙❤️ pic.twitter.com/l1tzcOaPrF
