<p>Former <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/michigan-wolverines/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michigan</a></strong> tight end <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/luke-schoonmaker-80886/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Luke Schoonmaker</a></strong> arrived at the NFL Combine hoping to improve his draft stock. With <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1632164726946820097" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">his 40-yard dash time</a> on Saturday, he may have done just that. </p>



<p>On his first run of the day, Schoonmaker posted a time of 4.65 seconds. He followed that up with a slightly better time of 4.63 on his second run. That second time ranks him fifth among all tight ends who participated Saturday. </p>

</div></figure>



<p>In addition to his 40-yard dash time, Schoonmaker also posted the second-best broad jump among tight ends at 10-feet and seven inches. His day is not over just yet, and he still has a chance to impress even more with a few drills left to go.</p>



<p>This past season at Michigan was Schoonmaker’s best yet, as he finished with 35 catches for 418 yards and three touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 251-pound tight end finished his college career with 54 receptions, 638 yards and seven touchdowns. </p>



<p><a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft/bestavailable/_/position/te" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to ESPN</a>, Luke Schoonmaker ranks as the eighth-best tight end prospect heading into the 2023 NFL Draft. His 40-yard dash time was better than several of the tight ends ahead of him, including Georgia product Darnell Washington, the No. 2 tight end according to ESPN. </p>



<p>He’ll hope that can help him move up boards before the draft begins on April 27.</p>



<h2 id="h-watch-former-georgia-tight-end-darnell-washington-clocks-4-65-unofficial-40-yard-dash">WATCH: Former Georgia tight end Darnell Washington clocks 4.65 unofficial 40-yard dash</h2>



<p><strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/darnell-washington-30551/">Darnell Washington</a></strong> is among the most impressive and unparalleled athletes at the 2023 NFL Combine. And the former <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/georgia-bulldogs/">Georgia</a></strong> tight end clocked an impressive initial 40-yard dash time on Saturday evening.</p>



<p>The 6-foot-6, 264 pound behemoth clocked a 4.65 40-yard dash, one of the fastest among the tight ends running on Saturday. He was a tad slower on his second run, hitting a 4.68 40.</p>



<p>Either way, it’s a remarkable time for a player with borderline offensive tackle size at tight end.</p>

<p>And with a 31-inch vertical and 10-foot, 2-inch broad jump, Washington probably worked his way up a few draft boards with his NFL combine showing on Saturday.</p>
