Ohio State cornerback Kendall Sheffield suffered a torn left pectoral while performing the bench press at the NFL scouting combine on Sunday, according to Eric Edholm (Twitter link).
As Edholm notes, another Ohio State product — center Billy Price — also tore his pectoral during the 2018 combine, but he was still selected in the first round by the Bengals. Sheffield, though, isn’t quite the prospect that was Price, and is expected to be drafted at some point between Round 3 and Round 5.
Sheffield, who stands 6’0″, 193 pounds, appeared in 27 games for the Buckeyes over the past two seasons, posting 75 total tackles and two interceptions during that time. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com describes Sheffield as an “explosive athlete” who lacks refinement and ball skills, while Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network says Sheffield can succeed as a zone-based cornerback but must add strength.
this is why guys skip the combine
Agreed. Only going to see more and more do it now too
