Georgia WR Chris Conley is showing his freakish athletic ability at the NFL Combine, putting together perhaps the most impressive individual show in combine history.

Update: Read our 2015 NFL Draft rankings by position.
Conley ran a 4.35 40, which is impressive, sure. It’s the third-fastest time amongst wide receivers at the combine. Which is good.
But on the standing vertical leap, he jumped 45 inches. That’s the best ever by a wide receiver, and one off combine record of 46 inches set by safety Donald Washington in 2006.
And on the broad jump, he jumped 11 feet, seven inches. That’s also a record for wide receivers, and ties the combine record set by defensive end Jamie Collins in 2013.
Here’s all three in one Vine:
Conley is 6’2, so he’s not exactly small. He’s showing that he has explosive speed, explosive leaping ability, and explosive burst. There are questions about his game -- he ranked No. 25 on our list of best wide receiver prospects after the end of the NFL season, which would make him a late-round pick -- and combine stars don’t always pan out. But he gave his stock a huge boost today.
While you’re reading about Conley, you might as well watch the 26-minute Star Wars movie he made featuring his Georgia coach Mark Richt.
