Social media can’t stop talking about a name most fans had never heard a few weeks ago. Uar Bernard has suddenly become one of the most talked-about prospects ahead of this year’s NFL Draft.

The 21-year-old defensive lineman impressed everyone at the NFL’s HBCU show with some incredible numbers. Bernard is 6-foot-4½ and weighs 306 pounds, with just 6 percent body fat. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.63 seconds, and also he had a 39-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-10 broad jump.

Trainer Jordan Luallen, who worked with him for 10 weeks in Florida, didn’t hold back when speaking to The Athletic. “Hands down, he is the most explosive athlete I’ve ever seen in my life,” Luallen said. He pointed to Bernard’s broad jump and said it looked effortless.

Quarterback coach George Whitfield had a similar reaction. He compared Bernard to Victor Wembanyama. “The numbers don’t even do him justice,” Whitfield said.

Clips of Bernard’s performance spread online. Fans couldn’t believe what they saw. Many focused on how rare it looks for someone his size to move that way.

One fan wrote, “This the most ridiculous 6’5 306 I ever seen in my life he make Myles Garrett look like a human.”

Another fan joked about his build. “That guy weighs 306 lbs?!?! Must have that Wolverine skeletal structure. Doesn’t look like he has any fat on him, crazy as hell.”

Others stayed cautious but impressed. “That man is a beast. Not sure he will be good at football, but hope he finds something,” one user said.

Bernard’s journey is getting a lot of attention. He grew up in a small village in Nigeria. His father was a police officer and passed away when Bernard was 16. At first, he played basketball, but a coach encouraged him to try football. Later, he joined the NFL’s International Player Pathway program.

He is still learning the game. He watches players like Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett on YouTube to improve. Coaches say he has improved a lot in a short time.

NFL IPP head Skyler Fulton told The Athletic that Bernard’s progress has been “crazy to watch.” He believes Bernard could be picked on Day 3 of the draft.

For now, Bernard is staying focused. He talks to his mother every day and keeps working hard. With the draft getting closer, he knows how important this moment is.

“That’ll be like an answered prayer for me,” he said.
