Little is a really interesting case study. He’s getting the same post-NFL combine treatment that Orlando Brown received last year; in case you’ve forgotten, the former Oklahoma offensive tackle was crushed for his miserable display of athleticism in Indianapolis, slipped to the third round of the 2018 NFL draft,  but has since earned a starting job and played at a high level as a rookie with the Ravens.

Could Little be headed down the same path?

His on-field work at the combine left a lot to be desired. There’s no denying that. But he otherwise checked the boxes from a physical standpoint, and if we eliminate his atrocious 25-inch vertical jump from his athletic scores, he actually did quite well. His broad jump, for example, ranked in the 93rd percentile for all offensive tackles.

Little entered the combine as a first-round tackle prospect. His stock has certainly fallen since then, but if he puts together a better Pro Day workout than he had in Indy, he should sneak back into the top-32 conversation.
