Why a 6-foot-4, 306-pound NFL draft prospect is turning heads despite hardly any football experience

You need experience to get experience, but Uar Bernard might prove to be a slight exception at the NFL draft. The Nigerian has virtually no high-level organized football experience, but his numbers posted at the NFL’s HBCU showcase have certainly turned heads. Bernard, at 6-foot-4 and 306 pounds with 11-inch hands, nearly 36-inch arms and 6 percent body fat, logged a vertical jump of 39 inches and a broad jump of 10-10, which is marked as 14 inches more than any other defensive tackle at this year’s NFL combine.
