Indianapolis, Indiana –– On Saturday, the quarterback, running backs and receivers had their opportunity to shine at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tulsa receiver Keyarris Garrett was one of those receivers looking to impress NFL scouts.
As his NFL Combine bio states "Garrett looks the part of an NFL receiver". His strengths are listed as "long-limbed and tall with sinewy build. Extreme arm length providing unique catch radius. Can go up and high-point the ball over most cornerbacks he faced. Able to stack cornerbacks and keep them out of the deep throw once he gets over top of them. Long strides and buildup speed seems to catch cornerbacks off guard on vertical routes."
That sums up what Tulsa fans saw of Garrett over his career and especially in his final season as he led the nation in receiving yards in 2015. Garrett had 1,588 yards and 8 TDs on 96 catches for a 16.5-yard average. He ranked first nationally for receiving yards per game (122.2) and 8th for receptions per game (7.4). Garrett was a unanimous first-team American Athletic Conference selection, earned Phil Steele's College Football post-season All-America fourth team and was selected to the SI.com honorable mention All-America team.
At the Combine, Garrett was measured at 6'3", 220 pounds with a 34 ½" arm length and 9" hands. He ran a 4.53 in the 40-yard dash, had 14 reps in the bench press, 36.5 inch vertical jump, 128.0 in the broad jump, ran 7.3 seconds in the cone drill, 4.33 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle and ran 11.72 seconds in the 60-yard shuttle.
