Donovan Peoples-Jones finishes with best vertical jump at NFL Combine
Nobody performed better on the vertical jump than former Michigan wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones. The former Wolverines star took home the honors in that category.
Over the last few days, several former college stars were on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine, taking the opportunity to improve their draft stock. Peoples-Jones, who is considered to be a mid-to-late round selection, really showed out in the vertical jump.
Peoples-Jones posted a leap of 44.5 inches, the best jump of anyone participating in the NFL Scouting Combine.

Peoples-Jones finished the season with 438 yards and six touchdowns on 34 catches.
