Check out this video of possible supplemental draft choice Vaness Emokpae working out for a handful of scouts. After the jump, see him show off his agility.

Emokpae was a do-everything player on offense for Truman State. He led the team in receiving in 2007 and rushing attempts in 2009.

Doh!

I didn’t realise there was a jump under I’d posted that.

My bad.

Looks like he could be a H-Back/fullback for somebody.

When will a fullback ever need to use his vertical?

I can see it as a way of measuring explosiveness or overall athleticism, but when is the last time you saw a fullback go over the middle or go deep and have to raise up to pick one out of the sky? I think WRs, anyone in the secondary and maybe LBs are the only positions where you could really use a decent vertical.

Well you answered your own question in your first sentence. FB’s may not have to high point a pass over the middle often, but they do have to explode into blocks and across the goal line, so seeing that power in his lower half is a good thing.

Just Beastly

I wish the Chargers would draft this guy as a full back, and denote one of their current full backs a tail back. At the very least this guy is probably a instant special teams upgrade, that kind of athleticism at 240 is impressive

IMO
