Jimmie Robinson, WR/RB, Bethune-CookmanHe’s probably too small — but, man, is he explosive. Robinson (another 2019 graduate) measured in at 5-foot-7, 175 pounds. But he had an official 40 time of 4.38 seconds (4.28 hand timed). His 3-cone was under seven seconds (6.99), and his short shuttle came in at 4.20. 
But his jumps were better than anyone else at the event. His vertical was 40½ inches, and his broad jump came in at 11 feet, two inches. Only three receivers at the 2020 combine had a better vertical, and only two of them had better broad jumps.

Kion Smith, OL, Fayetteville StateAn All-CIAA tackle in 2019, Smith measured in at 6-5, 318 with 35⅛-inch arms (81⅞-inch wingspan) and 9¾-inch hands. Smith posted some impressive agility scores that would have ranked toward the top of the heap with both guards and tackles at the 2020 combine. His official 3-cone came in at 7.6 seconds, while his short shuttle landed at 4.7 seconds. 
He might be better suited inside and could be an interesting developmental piece out of Fayetteville State. Also

Ian McBorrough, LB, Morgan StateAnother 2019 graduate who had his pre-draft workout session toppled due to COVID, McBorrough (6-2, 232) ran an official 4.61-second 40-yard dash, a 7.36-second 3-cone and a 4.46-second short shuttle. 
Size overall is an issue here, but McBorrough is a solid athlete who made 174 tackles in his final two years at Morgan State. His 10-yard split on his 40 (1.48 seconds) was the fastest of any player at the HBCU combine. 

I'd convert this guy to either a RB or FB.

Register recorded a 7.16 3-cone time and a 4.29-second short shuttle with a vertical jump of 35½ inches and a broad jump at 10-foot, seven inches.
