NFL stock rising? Georgia defensive back Eric Stokes posts incredible 40-yard dash time
Eric Stokes has achieved enough on the field that his game speaks for itself.
For some players though, that isn’t good enough for NFL evaluators as prospects are forced to prove their value when it comes to pre-draft testing.
We’ve all seen accomplished college players fall in the NFL Draft due to concerns regarding speed and acceleration.
That won’t be the case for Stokes by the time the 2021 NFL Draft rolls around.
The First Team All-SEC selection started his final two seasons at Georgia and now that he’s ready to move on the NFL, Stokes just posted a world-class speed during an unofficial 40-yard dash run.
Check it out below, as Stokes posts a 4.25 40-yard dash.
