That’s why we call him “Escalade” 💨

Belton’s 29.5 inch Vertical ranked 17th. His 8’11” Broad Jump ranked 19th.

The Escalade shined more in the agility drills, ranking 9th in the Shuttle Run (7.77 sec).

Big man moving!🦵

Anthony Belton looked really good for such a big guy. He really validated the tape today for me, could be a good pickup in the 2nd round for a tackle needy team. #NFLCombine pic.twitter.com/2wTaHnoEwJ

How did Belton improve or hurt his draft stock?

Belton continued to get better each season as the anchor of NC State’s offensive line at left tackle. His best part of the workout came during the on-field drills. At 6-foot-6, 336 pounds, he showed suddenness in his lower body and good change-of-direction skills. There are some teams that like Belton as a guard, but because of his length, he would be better served with trying to play tackle first. Belton could be among the top 75 picks because of his power and positional versatility. — ESPN

Belton tested like most 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds blockers do. He ran well over 5.00 in the 40-yard dash (5.26) and didn’t reach nine feet in the broad nor 30 inches in the vertical. The only problem? He found himself in a group with the comparably-sized Ersery and Membou, who tested through the roof. CBS Sports

Each NFL team is allowed to bring in 30 Draft Prospects leading up to the draft, and Belton has set up visits with the Eagles, Chiefs, Cardinals and Ravens.
