NFL Combine Day Two: Who Will Impress and Who Will Be Left in the Dust
Today is the day everyone a fan of 40 times gets most excited about at the combine, The Offensive Skill Position Day (QBs,RBs, WRs). Nowadays there is a great precedents put on a players speed. There may not be any 4.2s or Chris Johnson like Wow factors today but there are certainly some fast players this year. So here are the players who I personally think will fly and who I think might stumble a bit...
Quarterbacks who should do the Best
- Armanti Edwards - Appalachian State
- Jarret Brown - West Virginia
- Zac Robinson - Oklahoma State
- Daryll Clark - Penn State
- Dan Lefevour - Central Michigan
Quarterbacks who might stumble
- Sean Canfield - Oregon State
- Mike Kafka - Northwestern
- Jevan Snead - Ole Miss
- John Skelton - Fordham
- Levi Brown - Troy State
Running backs who should do the best
- Dexter McCluster - Ole Miss
- C.J. Spiller - Clemson
- Shawnbrey McNeal - SMU
- Ryan Matthews - Fresno State
- Joe McKnight - USC
- Darius Marshall - Marshall
Running backs who might stumble
- LeGarrette Blount - Oregon
- Jonathan Dwyer - Georgia Tech
- Anthony Dixon - Mississippi State
- Stafon Johnson - USC
- Montario Hardesty - Tennessee
- Toby Gerhart - Stanford
Wide receivers Who Should Do The Best
- Jacoby Ford - Clemson
- Brandon Banks - Kansas State
- David Gettis - Baylor
- Golden Tate - Notre Dame
- Emmanuel Sanders - SMU
- Taylor Price - Ohio
Wide receivers Who Might Stumble
- Mardy Gilyard - Cincinnati
- Nyan Boateng - CAL
- Arrelious Benn - Illinois
- Jordan Shipley - Texas
- Damian Williams - USC
- Eric Decker - Minnesota
Notes
-Watch for two pairs of teammates: C.J. Spiller and Jacoby Ford (Clemson) and Shawnbrey McNeal and Emmanuel Sanders (Southern Methodist) to have big days.
-Track guys like David Gettis of Baylor usually fare well.
-Mardy Gilyard may have phenomenal play making ability on the field but I don't know if he possesses the timed speed to really impress scouts.
-A name to watch could be WR Marcus Easley of UConn. With a big showing, Easley could move himself up quite a bit in the eyes of scouts.
-Historically a skill position player comes out of the blue to really dazzle everyone with their timed speeds. It will be interesting to see who takes that role this year and emerges.
-There are some that have questions about Jonathan Dwyer's long speed (as do I). He'll be one of the RBs to keep an eye on most because a disappointing time could knock him out of Round One.
