Njoku is much more talented and athletic that athleticism only gets u so far on Sundays when everyone is an athletic freak.Evan Engram had a combine interview with the Bucs, but no further contact has been reported. He was in the 80th percentile or better in the 40-yard dash, broad jump, vertical jump and 3-cone drill. — Trevor Sikkema (@TampaBayTre) March 29, 2017. Njoku has favorable fantasy matchups both this week and next, but it's unclear if there will be any rust to shake off after this much time on the sidelines. How NFL teams interpret what they think they can get out of Njoku as a blocker will determine how high he goes in the draft. Even though the sun was shining bright, one Canes player shined even brighter in the athletic testing and that was tight end David Njoku, a first-round NFL Draft prospect.Of all the players that should be available when the Bucs pick, Njoku is my favorite.
Njoku also missed 10 games with a wrist issue earlier in the season before being designated to return from injured reserve. He has a private visit with the Bears. Working in his favor against the Bengals is the fact that fellow tight end Demetrius Harris will be inactive with a shoulder injury, leaving Njoku to lead the way if he's able, though Ricky Seals-Jones and Stephen Carlson still are on hand to provide depth.It wouldn't actually be much of a commitment, as Njoku's draft position (29th overall) and football position (tight end) both serve to limit the cost of the fifth-year option, which is guaranteed for injury only. I don’t want the Bucs to trade up for anyone.
He motors very well for a big man (6-foot-4 and 246 pounds with a combine 40-yard dash time … If Njoku doesn't dress, Demetrius Harris is expected to be the team's lead tight end.Njoku is thus on track to play Sunday against the Cardinals.
ET, the deadline for teams to activate players designated to return from injured reserve ahead of Sunday games. David Njoku’s Info.
But chances are , a good player is going to fall to us.Why do you assume the team hasn’t talked to him about it? The effort on the field was enough for me to notice, but you could also argue that these players already have all their tape, so who cares?Perhaps his athleticism just made it look easy.While you were watching the tape surely you noticed the questionable play at center too.This is a tough one indeed, and at some point , is there that inevitable QB run before us? ASJ had all the talent but the effort was never there. The tight end didn't make much of a mark (one catch for four yards) in his return to action from a wrist injury in Week 14, but he's at least in a decent position to bounce back this weekend, given Arizona's struggles containing tight ends this season. He participated in all of the athletic drills, and also opted to work as a blocker before he ran routes. He’s 6-foot-4, 246, with a 4.64 40-yard dash, a 133-inch broad jump, and a 37.5-inch vertical. Njoku displayed that athleticism inside a 6-4, 253-pound frame. Will be a day one pick!I’ll be shocked if three QBs get taken that high. He is only going to get better and faster.There’s probably even some who think we should draft a QB and try to trade Winston.
19, as they had their regional scout Brian Hudspeth front and center for his drills.

With Njoku set to turn 24 this summer, the Browns believe he still has time to harness the immense physical gifts he demonstrated at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine -- a 4.64 40-yard-dash time… Both of David Njoku's 40 times (4.62, 4.56) would be improvements on his 4.64 time at the Combine.
