You can prepare for a test like at the combine, but mastering that doesn't always make you the best at your position on the field.

The War Room at The Sporting News has Hankerson as a first rounder.
"Bottom line: Hankerson is a two-year starter at receiver for the Hurricanes. He does not have any ability or production as a return man for special teams. He is a first-year starter as a pro, provided that he can improve his route-running consistency."

They have him rated as the 13th overall player in their top 99.
I also think he could be another Andre Johnson type receiver with his combination of size, strength and speed. He's not as fast as Johnson or as polished, but I really think he could be an elite wideout early in his career.
I'm not an insider with espn.com so if anyone has their scouting report, that would be nice.
