NFL Combine 2017: Remaining Workout Schedule and Day 3 Predictions

The 2017 NFL Scouting Combine rolls on Saturday with perhaps the most highly anticipated day of on-field workouts the event has to offer. The quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends will all be on display inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Although the demand for QBs around the league remains sky-high, none of the incoming prospects have proved they are a lock to become a franchise signal-caller at the next level. Mitchell Trubisky, DeShone Kizer, Deshaun Watson and the rest of the group are working to change that perception.

Let's check out all of the important details about the last three days of the weeklong showcase. That's followed by a closer look at what's worth watching during Saturday's combine testing.

Saturday Workout Preview

No positional group found itself under more scrutiny heading into the combine than the quarterbacks. There are no fewer than half a dozen teams searching for upgrades under center, including several near the top of the draft, but the outlook for the top prospects remains unsettled.

Trubisky is the most common choice as the top QB available after completing 68.2 percent of his throws for 3,748 yards, 30 touchdowns and just six interceptions for North Carolina in 2016. He's only got one year as a college starter under his belt, though.

The Tar Heels standout could have skipped the combine and attempted to stand on his merits to become the first player at the position off the board. He deserves credit for showing up to compete, and he's confident he'll show well after intense preparation work, per Lorenzo Reyes of USA Today.

"I feel really good," Trubisky said. "I'm not nervous. I just want it to get here. I'm ready to kill it."

Kizer is the biggest boom-or-bust option among the top three. He put some high-end talent on display during his two years leading the Notre Dame offense. His decision-making ability left some lingering concerns, however, and his completion percentage dropped more than four points from 2015 to 2016.

Most of the on-field drills are pretty straightforward for quarterbacks. It's often a better chance to see the smoothness of their footwork than anything else. But there's also a chance for accuracy woes to rear their ugly head, so he must show off some consistency hitting his targets in stride.

CollegeFootball 24/7 noted he's already checked one box when it comes to size:

Watson entered the offseason riding a wave of momentum after leading Clemson to a thrilling victory over Alabama in the CFP National Championship Game. While his stock has cooled a bit, a strong combine showing could get the hype train moving again.

He's got a terrific arm and should be able to make all the throws at the NFL level, but sometimes that's gotten him into trouble by trying to thread the needle into coverage. But the combine is a chance for him to showcase his arm without any defenders involved.

Along with his defensive reads, how his frame would handle the NFL grind has come into question. He told Stephen Hawkins of the Associated Press that he's not worried about that factor:

"

It's something I can't control. I just make sure I can control what I can control. Stay positive. The height is the height. This is how God made me. My hands are this size. I can't really control that. I can put on weight and be able to go out there and throw and run and talk in the interviews and my knowledge. But outside of physical and body, that's it.

"

Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech is the one quarterback aside from those three who possesses a chance to make a major statement in Indy. His tools are impressive, but there are questions about how he'd transition from the Red Raiders' Air Raid offense to a standard NFL scheme.

John Ross' speed is the most intriguing storyline at wide receiver. The Washington playmaker, who's trying to solidify himself as a first-round selection, might make a serious push toward landing in the record books for the 40-yard dash.

Jordan Plocher of Pro Football Focus commented on the receiver's speed:

Running back Chris Johnson and wide receiver Rondel Menendez hold the all-time combine mark in the spotlight event at 4.24 seconds.

At tight end, all eyes will be on Alabama's O.J. Howard. He dominated the Senior Bowl to establish himself as the clear No. 1 player at the position. Now he'll try to move up the draft board, potentially into the top 10, with a similar effort at the combine.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller has been bullish about his chances:

All told, with so many notable names in action, it's also a chance for a player currently off the radar to make a major splash by outshining the top prospects. Putting everybody on the same field for the sake of competition is one reason the combine has become so popular over the years.
