With 14 players in the NFL Scouting Combine, Ohio State was bound to have some impressive feats of athleticism.
Darron Lee might’ve had the most impressive of any Buckeye in Indianapolis.
The Ohio State linebacker delivered a broad jump of 11’1”, which was good for second of any prospect at the combine. As you can see here, Lee didn’t hold anything back:

As it stands, Lee is only second to Cal running back Daniel Lasco, who recorded an 11’3” broad jump. Lee’s jump was three inches better than the second-best effort from a linebacker.
A first-round projection by many, Lee’s solid showing at the combine so far could solidify that.
Darron Lee had an 11'1" broad jump!? 👀
