Why Todd McShay Says Jeff Caldwell 'Won the Combine for WRs' After Stunning NFL Workout

Cincinnati wide receiver Jeff Caldwell "won" the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Saturday for his position group thanks to his measurables and performance in timed tests, according to NFL Draft analyst Todd McShay.

Simply put, Caldwell put himself in rarefied air, based on his his Relative Athletic Score.

Caldwell is making a name for himself after getting very little attention out of high school, where he had a nine-inch growth spurt from his junior to senior years (5'8" to 6'5"), as noted by Scott Springer of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

He became an FCS All-American in 2024 at Lindenwood University (52 catches, 1,011 yards, 10 touchdowns) before transferring to Cincinnati. Caldwell put up some numbers (32/478/6), but it appears his Combine performance will get him noticed as the draft approaches in April.
