The first day of on-field drills at the NFL Combine is
Earl Thomas III Jersey complete. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and tight ends went through a variety of drills for NFL teams to di sect.From the 40-yard dash to the gauntlet drill and exact measurables of each player's vertical and broad jump, clarity was delivered to the forefront of things.Given that the Chargers aren't in the starting quarterback market, I didnt evaluate their performance in this breakdown of risers and fallers from day one of the 2022 NFL Combine.RisersWR Chris Olave, Ohio StateComing into the combine, Olave's speed was well documented. He figured to run in the mid 4.3s, which in most years would sit towards the top of the cla s. But he even exceeded that, posting an unofficial time of 4.26. He also showed up big in other drills, tracking the ball extraordinarily well on the receiving end of the quarterbacks' deep pa ses.WRTyquan Thornton, BaylorThornton did more than anybody at the combine to separate himself. The 40-yard dash is also known as "the moneymaker" drill. He clocked in with an unofficial time of 4.21, which will break the combine record once it becomes official. Teams looking for field-stretching pa s-catchers could be taking a long look at whatThornton can provide.TE Greg Dulcich, UCLADulcich
Lamar Jackson Jersey is the type of tight end that can go deep down the seam. He isn't the old-school tight end that engages in much work as an in-line blocker, so making sure he tested well specifically in the 40-yard dash was crucial.Dulcich posted an unofficial 40-yard dash time of 4.61, plenty good for his frame and positional group.Scroll to ContinueTE Isaiah Likely, Coastal CarolinaLikely didnt run the 40-yard dash but his explosivene s was plenty good during the gauntlet drill. He maintained decent speed from sideline to sideline while showing his sure-handed ability with the effortle s nature in which he hauled in pa ses. Likely only
Chris Wormley Jersey dropped one pa s during his senior season at Coastal Carolina and his soft mitts were out on display Thursday night.FallersWR Treylon Burks, ArkansasBurks is highly regarded among the best wide receivers
Brandon Williams Jersey in this years draft cla s. When a se sing Burks' college tape, his combination of power and speed makes him a mismatch to defend. However, Burks' measurables at the combine didnt correlate to what was expected. He ran a4.50 40-yard dash, while posting a vertical jump of33 and a broad jump of122. Burks said Wednesday that hes .TE Curtis Hodges, Arizona StateHodges is one of the tallest players at this years combine, measuring in at 6'8". While there's intrigue around him due to the large frame he po se ses,Hodges ran an unofficial 40-yard dash time of 4.83 seconds the slowest of the 12 tight ends who ran in his group. He also declined to participate in the bench pre s and wasnt overly impre sive in the one-man sled drill.WR David Bell,
Marshal Yanda Jersey PurdueA player whose game film remained in question, it was critical for Bell to test well. Instead, he was relatively underwhelming. Bell ran an unofficial time of 4.62 a result that teams will di sect as the draft inches closer. Initially thought of as an early second-round pick, Bell needs to improve his testing numbers as his college pro day.More from Charger Report
