Top Testers from the MN Showcase (DBs/WRs)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I went to my first-ever "Stock-up Showcase" on Sunday and I could not have been more thrilled with the results! I got to see tons of great talent from across several midwest states, and tons of MN athletes tested off the charts in front of plenty of college coaches! I'm excited to bring you the first round of top testers, the DBs and WRs! I'm going to cover the 40 times, shuttle times, broad jump, and L-drill times for each of the top 10 athletes at their respective positions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>DBs:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='551299' first='Aaron' last='Briggs']: Brooklyn Center 2025 5'6" 140 lbs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>40: 4.78</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shuttle: 4.34</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Broad Jump: 9'8"</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>L-Drill: 6.91</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Briggs is a quick and hard-nosed corner who is incredibly explosive and makes great plays on the ball.
