Fletcher Cox ran a 4.79 - Impressive**
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Brockers is the highest ranked DT on most boards right now, and Fletcher just out benched him by 11 reps. Now 30 is low compared to a lot of other DT's, but Fletcher isn't really a strength guy, he's a position guy. He uses his agility and speed to put himself in position instead of using pure strength. If Cox can outperform Brockers in most everything, that might bump Fletcher up over Brockers and possibly into the Top 10 of the draft. Last I saw Kiper had him at #17 overall and McShay had him at #15 overall. Would be awesome to see him go Top 10.
I was watching the combine recap last night on NFL channel. Warren Sapp said that Fletcher Cox reminded him of himself more than any other dlineman. He said out of the top five defensive lineman Cox would be the one he would take first. High praise from Sapp.
