A writer for Bleacher Report has this to say about Garrett Waggoner earning an invitation to try out for the Detroit Lions:

Fans can rightfully get excited about Garrett Waggoner's athleticism. The Dartmouth safety didn't get a lot of predraft burn because, well, he played for Dartmouth. But the 6'0", 224-pound prospect with the 39.5" vertical will have to make the roster before he goes about trying to make the team . . .

Waggoner's vertical at the NFL regional combine in Florida was 43 inches.
