Have we found football's Wembanyama? Plus: Anonymous NFL execs on free agency

When I think of athletic defensive tackles, the strength of Aaron Donald comes to mind. The speed of Jordan Davis. The size of Calais Campbell. Each has a characteristic that defines his game.One prospect seems to combine them all. He’s “like watching (Victor Wembanyama),” one coach told my colleague Bruce Feldman. This guy’s trainer said he’s “hands down, the most explosive athlete I’ve ever seen in my life.” Do you recognize him, though?This weekend, the football world was gushing over Uar Bernard (his first name is pronounced “ooh-are”). Feldman’s story on the unknown prospect went viral on socials, and rightfully so. These numbers are mind-boggling. Build: The 21-year-old stands 6-foot-4, 306 pounds with just 6 percent body fat. Imagine All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, but significantly leaner. Speed: Bernard jumped 39 inches vertically and 10 feet, 10 inches in the broad jump. Both would be combine records for a defensive tackle. His 40-yard dash time was 4.63. He would’ve blown away his fellow tackles in Indy. Uar Bernard: No ordinary athleteCompare the unbelievable numbers from Bernard’s pro day to those of Jordan Davis, the Eagles standout who had arguably the best defensive tackle combine performance of all time.There’s just one catch. It’s the same reason he’s projected to be a late-round pick. It’s why you likely hadn’t heard his name until now.Advertisement
