Today marks the end of the 2019 NFL Combine, with defensive back workouts, starting once again at 9:00 AM Eastern. As always, you can view it live on the NFL Network or at the NFL’s Combine Hub.
Unlike previous years, the 40-yard dash won’t be the event that the cornerbacks dominate. Most of the top players at the position seem to lack a true third gear, like the one Denzel Ward showed off last year. Top prospects Greedy Williams and Byron Murphy possess excellent burst in the short areas of the field, so expect to see very good times in vertical and broad jumps.
The safety class this year is all about versatility, which means that you’ll see players like Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Marquise Blair, two guys with the speed to play deep and the size to tackle tight ends streaking across the middle of the field. Taylor Rapp of Washington and Deionte Thompson of Alabama should be the winners of the forty-yard dash though, potentially moving themselves higher in the first round.
Here are the measurements that were taken from these players earlier this week, courtesy of walterfootball.com.
