— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) April 25, 2026 The cape, that’s what got me. Bernard did not play at an American college. In fact, he didn’t play anywhere last year, or the season before, or the season before that. Bernard has never played American football before in his life. But he burst onto the scene over the last few weeks after testing off the charts and cementing himself on perhaps the biggest freakish athlete in the Draft. 21 y/o Nigerian prospect, Uar Bernard, is going viral for his freakish athletic testing at the HBCU Showcase:

Height – 6-4½ Weight – 306 lbs Body Fat – 6% Vertical – 39 inches Broad Jump – 10'10" (14 inches longer than any other DT) 40 time – 4.63

Other people who have spent their lifetimes in football say Bernard looks like a Marvel creation. Bernard’s body fat: 6 percent. He vertical-jumped 39 inches and broad-jumped 10-10, which was 14 inches more than any other defensive tackle did at this year’s combine. His 40-yard dash: 4.63. “Hands down, he is the most explosive athlete I’ve ever seen in my life,” Luallen told The Athletic. “He broad jumped 10-10, and it was effortless. At 306 pounds. I’ve never seen anything like it.”), Bernard’s trainer, Jordan Luallen, has been raving about his raw natural athletic ability.
