Juan Thornhill – Noteworthy

On Monday, Thornhill led all defensive backs with a 44-inch vertical leap, which is just two inches shy of the Combine record. Mississippi cornerback Ken Webster was second among defensive backs with a 43-inch leap. Southern California’s Marvell Tell cleared 42 inches, which ranked No. 2 among safeties. Thornhill also led all defensive backs with a broad jump of 11 feet, 9 inches. Tell was second at 11-3. Thornhill’s big day continued on Monday with a 4.42-second 40-yard dash, which ranked No. 10 among defensive backs and No. 5 among safeties. Mississippi’s Zedrick Woods led the defensive backs with a time of 4.29 seconds. – The Daily Progress
