JUST IN: Cedric Tillman Posts Official Combine Numbers

Tennessee wide receiver Cedric Tillman has finished his workout at the NFL Combine.

It was a big day at the NFL Combine for the Tennessee Volunteers. Wide receiver Jalin Hyatt went in the first group of pass catchers, logging some eye-popping explosion scores despite running a slightly disappointing 4.40-second forty-yard dash.

Meanwhile, his teammate Cedric Tillman went in the second group of receivers. Tillman had an uber-productive 2021 season, tallying 64 catches for 1,081 yards and 12 touchdowns. His 2022 season was hampered by injuries, meaning his draft stock took a slight hit.

Analysts are still high on what he can do at the next level. The Athletic's Dane Brugler says Tillman should have been higher on his latest big board and expects Tillman to impress team evaluators in the predraft process.

Tillman ran an official 4.55-second forty-yard dash, a decent time for his massive 6-3 and 215 lbs. frame. His explosive metrics were excellent; he vertical jumped 37 inches, and broad jumped 10 feet and eight inches.

His RAS score of 9.22 was one of the tops among receivers. A strong showing meant that he could creep into the middle of day two, and we should be hearing strong things about his draft position in the coming weeks.
