DaVon Hamilton and Malik Harrison Among Top Performers in Vertical Jump, Post Solid Times in 40-Yard Dash at NFL Scouting Combine

DaVon Hamilton was a winner for his position group for the second day in a row.

After topping all defensive linemen with 33 reps of 225 pounds in the bench press on Friday, Hamilton had the best vertical jump among defensive tackles in his NFL Scouting Combine workout on Saturday, leaping 29.5 inches into the air.

While that number ranked just 19th among all defensive linemen, the top 18 were all part of the defensive end group. Among the defensive tackles who participated in the vertical jump, no one leaped higher than Hamilton – which is particularly impressive considering Hamilton is the fourth-largest defensive tackle at this year's combine at 6'3 3/4" and 320 pounds.
