Saturday Recap: Ole Miss QB, trio of WR’s, and RB shine at the NFL combine
Indianapolis, IN. – Today was another day of on-field drills at the NFL combine, evaluating quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs. For Ole Miss, Jaxson Dart, Tre Harris, Jordan Watkins, Juice Wells, and Ulysses Bentley IV were in attendance and ready to perform.
Quarterback
Starting with Jaxson, the quarterback was on point in his throwing drills, dotting up his receivers on post, vertical, and slant routes down the field. Measuring in at 6-foot-2 and 223 pounds, his plus size and athletic ability have seemed to impress a majority of scouts who he’s encountered over the last couple of months.
