10. Marquez North (Tennessee Volunteers)

6 feet 4 inches, 221 pounds
GRADE: 4.83
40 yard dash: 4.48 SEC
Bench Press: 17 reps
Vertical Jump: 35.0 inches
Broad Jump: 123.0 inches (10 feet, 3 inches)
3 cone drill: 6.90 SEC
20 yard shuttle: 4.13 SEC
Projected Round: 4-6

WalterFootball.com ranked North as the 27th best wide receiver in this year’s draft.

Missed a lot of games due to injury. Many thought he should have returned for his senior year, but he decided to enter the draft. He’s seen as a “nice reward in the late rounds” or as an undrafted free agent.

From NFL.com: Snatches ball away and gets upfield quickly after the catch. Extended catch radius with ability to adjust to make the catch. Capable blocker in the run game. Slow, uninspired route runner with average separation talent. Needs to work back to the ball.
