Gennings Dunker: NFL Combine Sensation

0:00On April 20th, Iowa's Ginnings Dunker is making noise at the NFL Combine, a 6-foot-5-319-pound red-shirt senior offensive. Lime-in clocking a 5.1840-yard dash, and a 32-and-a-half-inch vertical. This guy is built like a tank with 10-inch hands, and a 33-and-a-half-inch arm length, projecting straight to guard in the pros after, dominating college ball. Starting out of high school in Illinois as a 3-star recruit, Dunker logged over 2,200 snaps at right tackle over 3-starting. Seasons, plus time at guard. He earned first team All-Big-Ten honors last year, and second team the year before, running in a zone-heavy scheme while surrendering just 11-sacks, and 44-pressures total. Folks love his old-school grit-massive chest, explosive upper body strength, and that Iowa toughness that sets the tone of front. He's a beast in the run game, clearing pass with power, and smarts, plus solid football IQ and a personality that wins over coaches off the field.

Still, moving in size should play to his strengths and tight spaces where his physicality shines. Dunker grades out at 6.39, a day-two draft pick ready to start day-one for whichever team grabs his throwback style in processing. Speed. Keep an eye on him as the boards shake out.
