<p>Jaden Hines, Lee's Summit North<br>- 6'1" 213 - 18.1 mph 10 yard fly - 4.5 pro agility<br>- Hines came in and showed he was a hard-nosed competitor right away in warm ups with his intensity and carried it over in testing and indy drills showcasing his athleticism and skills. He has good reaction time and change of direction, good closing speed and showed good hands in drills and also did well in one on ones. He can cover and is also physically strong and aggressive and has good form. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1588077' first='Caleb' last='Barber'], UA-Kauffman<br>- 5'11" 232 - 17.9 mph 10 yard fly - 26.8 vertical jump<br>- Barber is a big, physical linebacker who goes hard and really got after it in everything he did. He was very coachable and had good quickness and ability to change direction. Caleb had good power and explosiveness in testing also on his way to winning the co-MVP. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='402124' first='Jhamari' last='Vickers'], North Kansas City<br>- 5'10" 152 - 19.6 mph 10 yard fly - 30.9" vertical jump<br>- Vickers has been a standout DB since he freshman year when he saw playing time on varsity, and he's continued to display that talent at the combine in winning co-MVP. Jhamari has good overall speed, burst closing on plays and impressive hips and cover and skills being able to stay with receivers and make pass break-ups and picks. College coaches watched intently during drills and one on ones with his play. Look for a big senior season. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1665265' first='Keone' last='Harrison'], Raytown<br>- 5'6" 152 - 19.6 mph 10 yard fly - 4.3 shuttle - 9'2" broad jump<br>- While not the biggest DB at the combine it would be hard to find one who played bigger or with the intensity and got after it more. Keone is quick, fast and can turn and run with all the receivers. He tested well and showed well in drills and one on ones with his skill set. He was another player who was locked in on showcasing his talent from the moment he checked in until after winning his award. </p>
