WATCH: Channing Tindall impresses in vertical leap, broad jump
The 2022 NFL Scouting Combine is underway this weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana and on Saturday night, it was time for the linebackers across America to shine in front of NFL decision makers. Several of Georgia’s players have absolutely blown the doors off the combine and on Saturday, they showed everyone why they were the 2022 College Football National Champions. Former Bulldog linebacker Channing Tindall took his time to shine on Saturday and impressed everyone in a big way. First, he ran an official 40-yard dash time of 4.47. That time ranks third among all the linebackers at the combine.
Then the 6-foot-2, 230-pounder proceeded to dominate the other drills at the combine, including the vertical leap (42 inches) and the broad jump (10 feet, 9 inches). Very impressive numbers, to say the least. His vertical leap ranked first among all the linebackers at the event. The broad jump ranked in a tie for third among all linebackers with Wyoming’s Chad Muma.

Even on a loaded Bulldogs defense, Tindall established himself as one of the game’s elite. During the 2021-2022 season, he racked up 67 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks. He also notched 19 hurries and one forced fumble. The 6-foot-2, 230 pound linebacker was the Georgia’s third-leading tackler this season.
