NFL Combine 2015: Schedule, Live Stream and Workout Predictions for Day 6

Defense took center stage Sunday at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine as linebackers and defensive linemen attempted to impress league scouts, coaches and executives. Some of those prospects—namely Clemson's Vic Beasley and USC's Leonard Williams—reassured onlookers why they should be highly considered near the top of the draft.

On Monday, the final day of the event, defensive backs will get their turn.

While a pass-rusher can be a constant disruption in the backfield and a linebacker can thwart opposing ball-carriers with bone-crushing hits, there aren't many better ways a defender can alter the course of a football game than an interception by a ball-hawking defensive back.

This year's crop boasts plenty of talented, confident players looking to make their marks on the NFL. Before they take the field at Lucas Oil Stadium on Day 6 of the combine to prove their value and bolster their draft stock, let's take a look at the essential viewing information and potential first-rounders to keep an eye on.

Potential First-Rounders to Watch

Trae Waynes, CB, Michigan State

USA TODAY Sports

Michigan State has a knack of producing physical cornerbacks who are able to bump larger receivers off their routes, disrupting the timing of the passing game. Darqueze Dennard was rewarded for his talents with a first-round selection by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2014, and Trae Waynes is looking to follow in his footsteps.

Waynes came into the combine widely heralded as the draft's top cornerback due to good size (6'0", 186 lbs), speed and strength that allowed him to excel on an island. Well, he already proved his strength is as advertised after accumulating 19 reps on the bench press—good enough for top-performer honors.

During his press conference in Indianapolis, via Josh Katzenstein of The Detroit News, wide receiver Keith Mumphery, Waynes' teammate at Michigan State, spoke of what an NFL team will be getting in the corner: "He's an animal. He deserves to be one of the top cornerbacks in the nation. He works hard, that's the No. 1 thing, he works hard and he's willing to go the extra mile."

We'll see how hard he's willing to work on Monday. An impeccable workout will likely allow him to maintain his position atop the draft's cornerbacks, but if he truly impresses, there's a possibility he could be considered within the top 10.

Known for his speed, expect Waynes to put up a sub-4.4-second 40-yard dash as his draft stock elevates.

Marcus Peters, CB, Washington

Like Waynes, Peters has the prototypical size of an NFL cornerback. At 6'0" and 197 pounds, he plays with a great deal of physicality and isn't afraid to contact receivers and disrupt routes. A talented cover corner, Peters has nice ball skills and good closing speed.

The biggest knock on Peters is his maturity issues. He was dismissed from Washington's football team after several altercations with the coaching staff, raising plenty of red flags in the process. According to Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, one NFC personnel director claimed he "wouldn't take [Peters] inside the first two rounds."

Well, the corner began to make amends during his combine media session on Saturday. Here's what he had to say, via Don Banks of Sports Illustrated:

"

Just miscommunication, mostly on my behalf. I didn't take the coaching transition too well.... But I live and I learn from it, you know? There are going to be things that aren't going to go right. But I went through one of the worst things that could happen to me in life. I got kicked off my team. I wasn't able to finish my college career with my teammates, and I own up to that and I man up to that and I just move forward.

"

It sure sounds like he's taking his past transgressions seriously and he's ready to turn to a new chapter going forward, but one-on-one interviews with NFL personnel will ultimately decide his fate in the draft.

Peters is a good athlete, but he's still a bit raw and needs some development. Expect to see a similar showing to that of Waynes without quite as quick of a 40 time.

Jalen Collins, CB, LSU

USA TODAY Sports

Jalen Collins is making a mockery of the NFL Draft Advisory Board. They gave Collins a grade to return to LSU for another season, but he elected to enter the draft anyway. Well, since measuring in at 6'1", 203 pounds, he has been skyrocketing up draft boards, and he's beginning to generate some first-round consideration.

Here's what NFL Media's Mike Mayock had to say about the cornerback, via Jim Corbett of USA Today: "There's a bunch of good long first-round corners at the top of this draft. I watched Jalen Collins' tape a couple of weeks ago and went, 'Wow!' He's a first-round physical trait corner."

Collins has a unique blend of height, length, speed and agility that's highly coveted in the NFL these days. The league has been obsessed with corners who have these traits ever since the emergence of the dominant Richard Sherman. Collins may not turn out to be another Sherman, but if he can get anywhere close, a first-round selection would almost seem mandatory.

The biggest downside to Collins is his lack of experience. He only played 10 games as a starter with the Tigers, and he should be expected to have a rather large learning curve before consistently contributing on an NFL defense. Still, his upside is tremendous.

Collins should manage to run a solid 40-yard dash time in the vicinity of 4.4 seconds. Although, his biggest benefit on Monday will come during agility drills, as he'll be able to showcase his good twitch and ability to change direction in a hurry.
