WR's

I mean, he lost them in the pros too. No player is a 1 for 1 match to another. Claypool was also a good bit faster than Fields. Just saying that there are some parallels there, that's all.

 

Alright guys who the hell is Jeff Caldwell? 6 ft 5 in at 216 pounds and runs a 4.31 Forty.

Also finishes with a perfect 10.0 RAS score by finishing with a 42" vertical and an 11 foot Broad jump.

 

Draft Profile: Bio
Jeff Caldwell's path to the NFL Draft started on a soccer field in Louisville, Kentucky, where football wasn't even on the radar. That changed when a late growth spurt before his senior year of high school took him from 5-foot-8 to nearly 6-foot-5, and suddenly the game his older brother Frank played at Butler Traditional looked a lot more interesting. Caldwell followed Frank to Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, where he appeared in seven games as a true freshman in 2022, hauling in eight catches for 141 yards and three touchdowns. A modest debut, but the touchdown-per-game ratio hinted at what was coming.

By his sophomore year, Caldwell had become a legitimate weapon for the Lions, posting 31 receptions for 590 yards and eight touchdowns in 2023, earning first-team All-OVC honors. He racked up two 100-yard outings that season and torched Western Illinois for 185 yards and four scores on just five catches. His junior campaign was the real breakout: 53 catches, 1,032 yards, and 11 touchdowns made him a finalist for the Walter Payton Award as the top offensive player in FCS. Five games over the century mark and a four-touchdown explosion against Eastern Illinois tied for the most by any FCS receiver that year. He earned Stats Perform Second-Team All-American and First-Team All-OVC recognition for his efforts.

That kind of production at the FCS level, combined with freakish testing numbers, made Caldwell a hot commodity in the transfer portal. He landed at Cincinnati for the 2025 season and stepped into a much tougher Big 12 environment. The numbers came back to earth: 32 catches for 478 yards and six touchdowns across 13 games. But the Bearcats staff saw immediate flashes of his physical ceiling, including a jaw-dropping one-handed grab against Bowling Green that set up a score and a five-catch, 109-yard performance in that same game. He also earned a spot on Bruce Feldman's annual Freaks List at No. 29, thanks to an 11-foot-9 broad jump that would have won the NFL Combine and a top speed clocked around 22 mph on Cincinnati's Catapult system.

 

Day 3 flier for someone. Heck of an athlete.
