Wisconsin Football Standout Stole the Show at the NFL Combine

Wisconsin football offensive lineman Tanor Bortolini set the NFL Scouting Combine ablaze with his remarkable athletic performance in Indianapolis.

Leading all offensive linemen, Bortolini shattered the combine record for centers with an astonishing time of 7.16 seconds in the three-cone drill, which Jason Kelce had previously held. This drill helps serve as a litmus test for key areas scouts evaluate, such as agility and acceleration.

Additionally, he cruised through the 20-yard shuttle in a mere 4.28 seconds — the best of all linemen at this year’s combine. Among offensive linemen since 2010, Bortolini stands among the elite, being one of only 34 to clock a time faster than 4.
