Keanu Neal, safety, Florida

Height: 6-feet | Arm length: 32 3/4″

Weight: 211 pounds | Hand size: 10 5/8″

40-yard dash: 4.62 seconds (Tied with Clemson's Jayron Kearse for ninth-fastest among safeties)

Bench press: 17 reps of 225 pounds (Tied with Miami's Deon Bush for fifth-most among safeties)

Vertical jump: 38 inches (Tied with Southern Utah's Miles Killebrew for second-highest among safeties)

Broad jump: 132 inches (Longest among safeties)

Three-cone drill: 7.09 seconds (Eighth-fastest among safeties)

20-yard shuttle: 4.38 seconds (11th-fastest among safeties)

60-yard shuttle: 11.58 seconds (Fifth-fastest among safeties)

Overview: As expected, Neal's freakish athleticism was on display at the combine. His broad jump was impressive, as he finished three inches ahead of second-place T.J. Green from Clemson. CBS Sports had Neal rated as a fourth to fifth-round prospect early in the pre-draft process.
