But this was his only chance to show off specific drills to the NFL personnel that attended.<\/p>\n<p>NFL agent Michael Perrett reported the results of his Pro Day:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shaun Wade &#8211; Ohio State <\/p>\n<p>Pro Day #\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>40 &#8211; 4.43<br \/>Vert &#8211; 37.5 <br \/>Broad &#8211; 10\u2019 3\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc40 \ud83d\udca8 <\/p>\n<p>Nice work <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shaunwade24?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@shaunwade24<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Michael Perrett (@PerrettM) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PerrettM\/status\/1382371866275418122?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Wade&#8217;s 40-yard dash tied him with Fields for the fastest time among Buckeyes in this draft class. He would have been the seventh-fastest cornerback at the 2020 combine with that time.<\/p>\n<p>His 37.5 vertical is impressive too, only behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/baron-browning-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Baron Browning<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/pete-werner-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pete Werner<\/a>. Even though they are both linebackers, they tested like athletic freaks at the initial Pro Day.<\/p>\n<p>Wade&#8217;s broad jump was 10&#8217;3&#8243;, which is the third highest among his teammates, after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/trey-sermon-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trey Sermon<\/a>&#8216;s 10&#8217;5&#8243; and Browning&#8217;s out of this world 10&#8217;10&#8221;. Before the initial Pro Day, Wade sought donors to pledge money for every inch of his broad jump to Warrick Dunn Charities. His jump raised $1,700 for single-parent and underprivileged families.<\/p>\n<h3>Justin Fields&#8217; Take Two<\/h3>\n<p>Fields impressed at his first Pro Day in March, and laid icing on the cake with his April performance.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was Shanahan present, but so was Bears head coach Matt Nagy, Broncos offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, and Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.<\/p>\n<p>Fields&#8217; most impressive throw from his earlier workout was one where he rolled to the left and threw the ball 65 yards, hitting the receiver in stride. To prove it wasn&#8217;t a fluke, he did it again on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just a drop in the bucket for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justnfields?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@justnfields<\/a> \ud83d\udca7 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qSXZ7jqeiY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/qSXZ7jqeiY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ohio State Football (@OhioStateFB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OhioStateFB\/status\/1382475951901192198?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 14, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>If Fields isn&#8217;t drafted in the top five this year, it won&#8217;t be for a lack of talent.
