Boehringer Runs 4.41-Second 40-Yard Dash

Friday, April 1

The NFL's official Twitter account posted footage of Boehringer's stellar 4.41-second sprint:

Working out in front of NFL personnel at Florida Atlantic University's pro day, the 6'4", 227-pound pass-catcher also posted a 39-inch vertical jump, 10-foot, 11-inch broad jump and 6.65-second three-cone drill, according to NFL.com's Andy Fenelon, who listed his 40-yard dash at a slightly slower time of 4.43 seconds.

To put those numbers in perspective, a 4.41-second 40-yard dash would have ranked No. 3 among all wide receivers at this year's NFL combine, and his three-cone time would have tied Ohio State's Braxton Miller and ranked behind only Stanford's Devon Cajuste and California's Trevor Davis. The 10-foot, 11-inch broad jump would have also been good for No. 2 among all combine receivers.

"I came here today knowing what I needed to do," Boehringer said, according to Fenelon. "But I didn't realize there was going to be so many people watching me."

However, NFL.com's Lance Zierlein pointed out that pristine pro-day numbers won't make Boehringer a lock to be drafted:

"The level of play, even in Germany's top league where he dominated last season, is so far below the college level in the U.S. that all tape on him has little value aside from Madden-level entertainment," Fenelon added.

The evaluation process is still ongoing with a few weeks to go until the draft, but Boehringer is certainly an intriguing prospect after flashing wide receiver-type traits while operating with a tight end's build.
