4. Nick Vigil (Utah State)

6 feet 2 inches, 235 pounds
GRADE: 5.37
40 yard dash: 4.72 seconds
Vertical Jump: 31.5 inches
Broad Jump: 115.0 inches (9 feet, 7 inches)
3-cone drill: 6.73 seconds (Top Performer)
20 yard shutte: 4.00 SEC (Top Performer)
Projected round: 3-5

WalterFootball.com ranked him 10th among inside linebackers among this year’s draft prospects, noting Vigial was a “tough run defender.”

From NFL.com: “… has desire and instincts…above average vision… Wide-­armed, wrap-up tackler…not lacking toughness…Slim frame. Needs to play with better punch and active hands to stay clean. Can be smothered by size. Gets bounced around when caught up in traffic. Not able to change direction quickly.

May need to be an outside linebacker in a 4-3 scheme if he can’t add mass.

Next: Terrance, but No Phillip
