Yesterday at the NFL Combine, Notre Dame wide receiver did something that no other wide receiver has done at the Combine since 2006 – he ran a sub 4.45 40-yard dash at over 230 lbs. The last receiver, at that size, to do? Calvin Johnson, aka Megatron. That is some rare and excellent company for Notre Dame’s “Maple Bandit” who clocked in a 4.42 and 4.45 in his two attempts.
Earlier this week, after weighing in at 238 lbs, the idea of Chase Claypool moving to tight end was floated on Twitter, and Claypool was even asked about it in Indianapolis this week.
