Isabella was part of the North squad, which was coached by the Oakland Raiders staff, at the Senior Bowl. The 49ers coached the South squad. He caught seven passes for 74 yards in the Senior Bowl after a nation-leading 1,698-yard and 13-touchdown campaign during his senior season at UMass.
Isabella hasn't run his 40-yard dash at the Combine yet, but he created some buzz before the Senior Bowl by telling reporters he recently ran a 4.26 40.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 5-foot-9 and 188-pound Isabella had 15 reps in the bench press. Other measurables for Isabella include an arm length of 29 3/4 inches and hands that measure 8 3/8 inches.
Each NFL team is allowed to conduct 60 player interviews in 15-minute intervals in Indianapolis.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, who compares Isabella to Phillip Dorsett, wrote the following about Isabella within his scouting report:
"Competitive, well-rounded slot target possessing both elite quickness and long speed to go with above-average play strength. Isabella has the feet and fakes to uncover in a hallway closet and the former high school sprint champion proved to Georgia that his ability to win deep should not be underestimated. Isabella could step into a high-volume slot role as a menace on option routes with the ability to add verticality from the slot. While the step up in competition will be pronounced, he has the traits to transition nicely into the NFL."
