INDIANAPOLIS -- Leonte Carroo didn't meet his goal in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday, but the former Rutgers receivers still managed to generate buzz after his on-field workout.

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said that Carroo and TCU's Josh Doctson stood out the most during the morning workout group.

"Carroo has shown strong hands and body control in drills," McShay wrote. "Also ran a good 40 time of 4.50 at 6-feet, 211 pounds."

Carroo was aiming for a 40-yard dash under 4.50 seconds. His time tied for 11th out of the 37 receivers that ran the 40-yard dash.

Only Notre Dame's Will Fuller (4.32 seconds) and TCU's Kolby Listenbee (4.39 seconds) broke the 4.4-second mark in a draft class that lacks elite speed.

Per NFL Network, this group of WR's 40-yard dash times were the slowest since 2011 when it was 4.57. This year was 4.56. Last year, 4.50. — Joe Marino (@TheJoeMarino) February 27, 2016

Carroo's 35.5-inch vertical jump tied for 11th among receivers, while his 120-inch broad jump ranked 24th. Carroo didn't participate in many route-running drills and he skipped the 3-cone drill and the 20-yard shuttle run.

The decision to limit Carroo's involvement was likely a precautionary measure, as he has been dealing with a high ankle sprain. Carroo will have another chance to perform in front of NFL scouts on March 9 at Rutgers' pro day.

The Combine likely won't have much of an impact on Carroo's draft stock (second/third round) because his results weren't extraordinary good or bad. Scouts have three seasons worth of Carroo's game film to watch to make their evaluation of his NFL potential.

Carroo already has made a strong impression on one NFL head coach.

Rotoworld explained the "star" system:

Some teams allow personnel members and coaches to put their star on one player in each draft class, which points to their "favorite" prospect or one they want the team to draft most. Many times it is not one of the top prospects, but one the evaluator or coach fell in love with. For this coach, Carroo is that prospect.

Here are the results from Saturday's workouts for all 43 wide receivers at the Combine:
