Pre-draft

[edit | edit source]

On December 1, 2015, it was announced that Listenbee had accepted an invitation to play in the 2016 Senior Bowl.[7] On January 26, 2016, it was reported Listenbee would be unable to play in the Senior Bowl and he was replaced by Clemson's Charone Peake. Listenbee was one of 43 collegiate wide receivers invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. He performed the majority of drills, but was unable to perform the short shuttle or three-cone drill after suffering an apparent groin injury. His overall performance was well received by scouts and analysts, as Listenbee ran the second fastest 40-yard dash among all players, only behind Notre Dame wide receiver Will Fuller.[8] On March 31, 2016, he attended TCU's pro day, along with Trevone Boykin, Josh Doctson, Derrick Kindred, Halapoulivaati Vaitai, Aaron Green, Jaden Oberkrom, and 13 others. Scouts and team representatives from 30 NFL teams attended, including Minnesota Vikings' head coach Mike Zimmer, Vikings' General Manager Rick Spielman, Los Angeles Rams' General Manager Les Snead, and wide receiver coaches from the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys. Listenbee only performed 18 reps in the bench press, due to a sports hernia injury.[9] At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Listenbee was projected to be a third or fourth round pick by NFL draft experts an scouts. He was ranked the 11th best wide receiver in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com.[10]
