2018 NFL Scouting Combine Preview -

Schedule:

Thursday, March 1 – On-Field Workout Place Kickers/Special Teams
Friday, March 2 – On-Field Workout for Offensive Lineman
Saturday, March 3 – On-Field Workout for Quarterbacks, Wide Receivers, and Tight Ends
Sunday, March 4 – On-Field Workout for Defensive Lineman and Linebackers
Monday, March 5 – On-Field Workout for Defensive Backs

Players with the most to gain:

Donte Jackson – CB – LSU – There has been a lot of talk lately about how fast Jackson will run the 40-yard dash at the Combine. Some people believe he will break the record of 4.22 seconds and if he does, he could see himself being selected in the first round.
Holton Hill – CB – Texas & Mike Hughes – CB – UCF – Both players were talented college cornerbacks but each had off-field issues as well. Interviews will be key for both of these players, especially Hill.
Arden Key – EDGE – LSU – Similar to the cornerbacks listed above, Key also had some off-field issues. He also had injuries that really hurt his play this past season. Interviews and testing well at the Combine should really help Key.
Lamar Jackson – QB – LSU – Jackson will have a great opportunity to show NFL teams that he can be an NFL quarterback. Not only will he be able to show them on the field, but hopefully he can also convince them in his interviews with the teams.

Predictions:

Fastest 40-yard dash time – Donte Jackson – CB – LSU
Most bench press reps – Will Hernandez – OG – UTEP
Highest vertical jump – Derwin James – S – FSU
Highest broad jump – Derwin James – S – FSU
