We just saw one of the greatest pro days of all-time.
Only problem? No one’s heard of him before, and no one has tape of him in pads.
This is the biggest freak athlete in this year’s NFL draft. I’d never heard of him till two days ago. He’s from a small village in Nigeria. He is 6-4 1/2, 306 lbs and jumps 10-10. Some folks in the NFL think he’ll go on Day 3 of the draft. Free story: https://t.co/tgiQdpjikh pic.twitter.com/aFgq5FUjNV

Uar Bernard (pronounced “ooh-are”) measured at the NFL’s HBCU showcase 6-4 1/2, 306 pounds with 11-inch hands & almost 36-inch arms. He vertical jumped 39 inches and broad jumped 10-10, which was 14 inches more than any DT did at this year’s combine. His 40: 4.63.…

Born and raised in a small village in Nigeria, Uar Bernard came to America in January of this year as a member of the NFL International Pathways Program and has been working with the same trainer who worked with Jordan Mailata, the Philadelphia Eagles’ starting Offensive Lineman who came from the same program.
Bernard attracted the attention of analysts and fans alike, who compare his athletic prowess to Victor Wembanyama of the NBA, who, in year three of his career, is already the frontrunner for league MVP.
He proved his hype at the NFL HBCU showcase:
This guys is an athletic freak. He’s 6’4.5”, runs a 4.65 40, hits 31 bench reps, 39 in vertical, 35 in arms, and at 306lbs has 6% body fat.
The only problem is that nobody’s heard of him before two days ago and we have never seen him actually play football. pic.twitter.com/86omALQNZV

Those numbers are maybe the best athlete ever? https://t.co/2fnlSj4QQr

Despite never seeing him play, those numbers are at least worthy of a draft pick.
Do you want your team drafting this unpolished but gifted athlete in the NFL Draft this month?
