NOTES

• Donte Jackson tied for the fastest time at the 2018 Combine, while Curtis Samuel was third-fastest in 2017.
• Steve Smith was ninth-fastest among all players in 2001, coming in ahead of players like Reggie Wayne, LaDainian Tomlinson and Chad Ochocinco.
• The fastest Panthers defensive lineman was actually Brian Burns from last season when he ran a 4.53.
• The top times among Panthers quarterbacks was 4.56, where Cam Newton (2011) and Stefan LeFors (2005) each landed.

The vertical jump is attempted by most players at the combine. It measures the total number of inches that a player's feet lift off the ground (highest leaping touch minus standing touch). Players jump from a standing start.

So which Panthers have the best vertical jumps at the Combine since 2000?

NOTES

• Jarrod Cooper's jump ranked fifth among all players at the 2001 Combine.
• Luke Kuechly was directly behind Christian Miller at 38.0 for third-highest vertical among linebackers.
• Ian Thomas and Dante Rosario tied for the highest verticals among all tight ends at 36.0.
• The best vertical from an offensive lineman was Jordan Gross who touched 31.5 back in 2003.

The bench press consists of repetitions at 225 pounds (essentially a 45-pound bar with two 45-pound plates on each side). However, it is not always performed by every player at the combine. Over 40 of Carolina's draft picks since 2000 did not do the bench press.

So which Panthers have put up the most reps on the bench at the Combine since 2000?

NOTES

• Carolina had three of the top eight finishers in the bench press in 2005 and two of the top 10 in 2007.
• Ryan Kalil tied with Dustin Fry out of Clemson for most bench reps among centers in 2007.
• Jonathan Stewart (28 reps) had the most bench press reps among all-time Panthers running backs.

The broad jump is similar to the long jump at the Olympics, except that players jump from a standing start rather than a long run-up.

NOTES

• DJ Moore had the fourth-best broad jump in 2018 and furthest among all offensive players.
• Cam Newton tied for the longest broad jump among all QBs since 2011, and is tied for third among all QBs since 2000.
• Brian Burns had the second-longest jump among defensive lineman and edge rushers in 2019.

The three-cone drill is combine-specific to test a player's agility. Three cones are placed five yards apart from each other forming a right angle. The player starts with one hand down on the ground and runs to the middle cone and touches it, then reverses direction back to the starting cone and touches it. The athlete reverses direction again but this time runs around the outside of the middle cone on the way to the far cone running around it in figure eight fashion on his way back around the outside of the middle cornering cone.

NOTES

• Christian McCaffrey's time is the fastest by any running back in the 3-cone drill over the last 20 years.
• James Anderson tied for the third-fastest linebacker time from 2000-present.
• Randy Fasani was the fastest QB in the three-cone drill in 2002.

In the shuttle drill, or the "5-10-5" drill, the player starts at the center cone of three cones, each a distance of five yards apart. The athlete then goes toward one cone, five yards away. After reaching it, they reverse direction to cover 10 yards for the far cone, before coming back five more yards to the middle cone to finish.

NOTES

• Randy Fasani has the fastest time among QBs from 2000-present. He tied for the fastest shuttle time among all positions in the 2002 combine.
• Thomas Davis had the fourth-fastest time among all linebackers in 2005, even though he was originally listed at safety.
