NFL.com Top 14 Most Freakish Athletes in College Football 2014
Here are the ACC Players listed:
10. Mario Edwards, Jr., DE, Florida State
Particulars: 6-3, 294, junior
Buzz: FSU is loaded with high-level athletes -- CB Ronald Darby and RB Karlos Williams, in particular -- but this guy still stands out because of his size. He has been clocked as fast as 4.76 seconds in the 40 and he has no issues with doing standing back flips. A 300-pounder who can do a standing back flip like a cheerleader? That's impressive. Edwards also has good strength and squatted 500 pounds while in high school. His dad played cornerback at FSU and in the NFL.
4. Cameron Lynch, LB, Syracuse
Particulars: 5-11, 226, senior
Buzz: He lacks ideal size, but has been an important player since he first stepped on campus and will start for the second season in a row this fall. He is both strong and fast. He has been clocked at 4.7 seconds in the 40 and can squat 620 pounds, clean 374 pounds and bench press 435 pounds. He also can do 36 reps in the bench press at 225 pounds. He also can do a standing back flip, and his vertical jump has been measured at 36 inches.
1. DeVante Parker, WR, Louisville
Particulars: 6-3, 208, senior
Buzz: He was Teddy Bridgewater's favorite receiver at Louisville, but will have to go without Bridgewater this fall. Parker's high-level athleticism will help him get by. He has been clocked at 4.39 seconds in the 40-yard dash, and his vertical jump has been measured at 36.5 inches and his broad jump at 10-foot-10. He can squat 455 pounds and bench press 335 pounds; he also can do 17 reps in the bench press at 225 pounds. In addition, he has a wing span of 80 inches, so when you factor in his height and his vertical jump, his "catch radius" is exceptionally large, which should make new starting QB Will Gardner smile.
