Former Coastal Carolina wide receiver Jerome Simpson had a stellar Sunday of workouts at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis helping his NFL Draft stock even more. Simpson had three top 10 performances in individual testing. His broad jump of 11'4" is believed to be an all time combine record according to his agent Dave Butz. Simpson improved his time in the 40 yard dash which could help him climb the draft board breaking 4.5 seconds in both of his runs.
