Key Highlights

• Combining the two, his total score of 63 ranks 26th. Although he entered the combine as a projected undrafted free agent, Gumbs may have shown enough to warrant a Day 3 pick.
• His ceiling is high, and he's coachable as an edge rusher.
• Remember, Gumbs started his college career as a walk-on wideout at Northern Illinois, so there's still plenty to learn for him to reach his full potential. George Gumbs Jr.
