The 2019 NFL Combine is now over. We had some laughs, killed some time, and in the end, witnessed what might have been the greatest overall combine by defensive linemen since this whole thing started.
After all of the fun, who were the five biggest stars to come out of this thing? Who defined your 2019 NFL Combine? Who helped themselves the most?
5. LB Devin White, LSU
Already known as a leader and baller, White was already a first round prospect, and then…
Already known as a leader and baller, White was already a first round prospect, and then he ripped off a 4.42 in the 40 and cranked up a vertical of 39.5".
4. DE Brian Burns, Florida State
Uh oh, the FSU star showed up at 249 pounds after playing in the 220s. He…
Uh oh, the FSU star showed up at 249 pounds after playing in the 220s. He looked fine at 6-5, but that extra weight was going to take away from his speed and ... 4.53. Boom. That, along with a 36" vertical and broad jump of almost 11 feet all but cemented his first round status.
3. DE Montez Sweat, Mississippi State
4.41. No, he wasn't as smooth or fluid in the short drills as some might have…
4.41. No, he wasn't as smooth or fluid in the short drills as some might have wanted, but the 6-6, 260-pounder had a vertical of 36", was quick enough in the other drills, and ... 4.41. Yeah, he's a sure-thing top ten overall pick as a pass rusher after this.
2. WR DK Metcalf, Ole Miss
Already a star on the social media scene for his cartoonishly chiseled physique, the 6-3, 228-pound…
Already a star on the social media scene for his cartoonishly chiseled physique, the 6-3, 228-pound star showed off even more with a 4.33 40 with a 40.5" vertical and broad jump of over 11 feet. Consider it a shock if he's not the top receiver off the board.
1. QB Kyler Murray, Oklahoma
Murray tapped out on all the drills as he preferred to wait for his Pro Day,…
Murray tapped out on all the drills as he preferred to wait for his Pro Day, but ... 5-10, 207 pounds, 9 1/2" hands. That's all anyone needed to see to push him to the No. 1 overall pick to the Arizona Cardinals ... for now.
