*Malik Gant – Noteworthy
Previewing the 2019 NFL Combine: Third Day Sleeper: Malik Gant, Marshall,…Former walk-ons at Marshall rarely earn the attention of NFL scouts – especially those who decide to give up a year of eligibility to join the draft early – but the team willing to invest a Day Three pick in Gant could get a handsome return. An instinctive, physical player who flies around the field like a bird of prey circling a meadow, Gant already plays the game with the chip on his shoulder needed to make an NFL roster as a Day Three pick. Gant can help himself in Indianapolis by running well and showing improved hands in ball drills, turning just two of his 13 career passes defensed into interceptions. Gant has the look of an immediate helper on special teams with the potential to develop into much more. – Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
