Clocked in the low 4.5s in the 40-yard dash on most watches at his pro day workout and also registered a 37-inch vertical jump. In a tight end class with no standouts, it will definitely drive up his value and easily could position him in the back half of the first round.

NFL evaluator: "I like (Stanford's) Coby Fleener. I have not seen one better this year. The way the tight end position is going — if it falls right, he could fall right into the Todd Heap category. He is a second-round pick, but the first is not out of reach.”

In a weak tight end crop, Stanford senior Coby Fleener is climbing to the head of the class, having consistently proven he can make plays downfield and showing very reliable hands. He has been Andrew Luck's most trusted offensive weapon for two years and does not figure to escape the second round.

Two weeks removed, Stanford TE Coby Fleener showed no ill effects from a head injury that knocked him out of the Arizona contest, as he made one of the season's most impressive plays late in the first quarter of Stanford's 45-19 route of UCLA. Split to the right, Fleener got down the seam and made an eye-popping, one-handed touchdown grab with a defender on his back, palming the nose of the football like a Nerf toy. He added a 49-yard score in the third quarter, as a play-action fake allowed him to get behind the defense. A high school basketball standout, Fleener, who posted a 60-yard score on Sept. 10 against Duke, is averaging a whopping 21.4 yards per catch with five scores on the young season.

NFL evaluator: "(Stanford TE) Coby Fleener has deceptive speed. He's a smooth strider. He does not look like he is moving, but he is covering a lot of ground. He can get up the field now."

A day after enduring a helmet-to-helmet collision with Arizona CB Trevin Wade that caused concussion-like symptoms, Fleener was cleared for return to action.

Stanford TE Coby Fleener was the subject of a San Francisco Chronicle article in which teammate and safety Michael Thomas called Fleener "the second-fastest offensive player we have." Quarterback Andrew Luck talked about the tight end’s athletic ability derived from the hardwood. "I know he played basketball in high school," said Luck, "so he does a great job with body control in the air in terms of jumping and catching the ball and staying on his feet. He uses his athleticism to the fullest when the ball is in the air. That's why he's scoring touchdowns."
