Bo Melton (#Rutgers) bolted down the sideline and hit a top speed of 19.8 MPH on a punt return. It’s the fastest speed of the day thus far at the #SeniorBowl. #NFLDraft #NFL
Bo Melton from @RFootball has impressed this week with his footwork and release. Every day he’s stood out to me and he’s certainly not hurt his stock this week. Had 55 catches for 618 yards and 3 TD last season. pic.twitter.com/lJOx2VcFra

Bo Melton has been a favorite of mine throughout the week of practices. Smooth route runner with tons of short area quickness and sure hands. Got used a ton on gadget plays down in mobile. #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/LZo8luRh2u

Hopscotch split release gains him vertical freedom which he abuses with an Iverson crossover to break on the dig. Good luck guarding that ?? @getbusy__bo pic.twitter.com/bgrIo9B3hZ
