INDIANAPOLIS -- Sammie Coates posted some of the best all-around numbers by a wide receiver.
The former Auburn wide out was in the top five in both vertical (41 inches, fourth) and broad jump (131 inches, third).
Coates ran a 4.43 40-yard dash, which tied for 11th best at wide out.
He opened the week hoping to "beat all records" at the Combine and many felt he could post a sub-4.4 40 time, which is almost unheard of for players his size.
