Combine or Combustible

It’s the first inkling of the NFL season approaching with the 2016 Combine in play. The combine lets top scouts determine who will or will not  be drafted and what round they will be drafted in.  They breakdown the workouts into categories which include 40 yard dash, bench press, board jump, 60 yard shuttle, 20 yard shuttle, vertical jump and the 3 cone drill.

Top Performers- Everyone and there mother has Jalen Ramsey at the top of there list. Ramsey is sitting at 6 feet 209 pounds defensive back from Floridia state. With his versatility top analyst see him either in the CB or Safety position.  Ramsey ran the 40 yard dash in 4.41 seconds and also had a 41.5 inch vertical jump and a 11-3 broad jump.

William Jackson III CB from Houston ran the 40 yard dash in 4.37 seconds that is like a cheetah in human form!

When all said and done at the end of the combine even if your times are amazing doesn’t guarantee you that you will be a great draft choice or even perform well in the NFL. Lets take a look at some of the top times in the Combine.

  1. RB KEITH MARSHALL(Georgia)- 4.31 also top performer in the bench press.
  2. WR WILL FULLER (Notre Dame)- 4.32 also top performer in the broad jump and the 60 yard shuttle.
