The NFL Combine begins this week in Indianapolis.Many of the 336 NFL Draft prospects arehousehold names like Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson, running backs Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb and Ronald Jonesand defensive stars likeBradley Chubb and Minkah Fitzpatrick.But there are always off-the-radar players who wind up stealing the show at Lucas Oil Youth AJ Green Game Jersey Stadium.Here are 10 with the potential to see their NFL Draft stock soar at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine.Ola Adeniyi, DE, Toledo Anathletically gifted pa s rusher, he left Toledo aftera junior season that saw him record 66 tackles, 20 for lo s, and a team-high 8 1/2 sacks. Though undersized at 6-2, 248 pounds, Adeniyi has the athleticism to transition to outside linebacker. The combine will be an opportunityto show he can drop in coverage. If he does that well, he could go from a late-round pick to a Day 2 selection.Alex Cappa, OL, Humboldt State One of the most impre sive players at the Senior Bowl, he's described as a nasty player in a good way who at 6-7, 305 pounds was Division II All-American and is strong and athletic. His technique is solid and he has excellent coordination something he displayed at the Senior Bowl when he juggled during a footwork drill. Cappa enjoys the game and should continue to impre s this week in Indianapolis.Marcus Davenport, DE, UTSA Not a name casual football fans know, Davenportmight be the most athletic defensive player in the 2018 NFL Draft cla s. At 6-6, 255 pounds, he was touted as a potential first-round pick before the Senior Bowl, where he solidified himself as a Day 1 selection. He could make himself a top-10 pick at the combine. Davenport collected 21 1/2 sacks and 37 1/2 tackles for lo s at UTSA,including 17 1/2 as a senior.Nick DeLuca, LB, North Dakota State He wastheonly FCS player nominated for the Butkus Award, which goes to the top linebacker in college football. DeLuca has been slowed by injuries over his college career, but when healthythe 6-3, 248-pounder Cincinnati Bengals Game Jersey is a tackling machine.A first-team all-American selection last season, he could work his way Joe Mixon Jersey into the middle rounds with a good showing in Indy.Foley Fatukasi, DT, Connecticut One of the more dominant defensive players in Januarys East-West Shrine Game, Fatukasi (6-4, 303) is great off the snap and uses that quick burst as well as his strength to be disruptive. He had 169 tackles, 21 for lo s, with 13 1/2 sacks over his career at UConn. His strength and athleticism could result in his name being called on Day 2 of the draft.Will Hernandez, OG, UTEP Big and strong at 6-2, 340, Hernandez has starter ability at the next level. He understands leverage and uses his hands well to stifle rushers. With 37 starts under his belt, Hernandez is a durable, experienced player. Despite arms that are shorter than ideal, Hernandez could sneak into the bottom of the first round if he performs well in Indianapolis.Darius Jackson, OLB, Jacksonville State If there is one diamond in the rough to be found on Day 3 of the draft, it might be Jackson. The FCS defensive player of the year set a school record with 20 1/2 tackles for lo s. Hes a high-motor player hungry to succeed after being ignored by most FBS programs coming out of high school. He was the two-time defensive player of the year in the Ohio Valley Conference and is Jacksonville States career record-holder for sacks and tackles for lo s. He has good size (6-3, 248) andif he tests well at the combineshould be a priority for teams in the later rounds.Jaleel Scott, WR, New Mexico State You cant coach size and Scott has plenty of it at 6-5, 215. He also has excellent hands and is not a body catcher, instead naturally brings the ball in. Scotthad a breakout season last year with 76 receptions for 1,079 yards and nine touchdowns. His coming-out party was an eight-catch, 149-yard effort with two touchdowns against Arizona State in the 2017opener. Scotts speed is in question, but if he runs better Joe Mixon Pro Line Black Jersey than expected, he could rise from a po sible fifth-round pick into the third.Greg Senat, OL, Wagner A former basketball player, Senate (6-8, 290) is a project whohas great feet and length. He has tremendous upside and held his own against some of the better pa s-rushers at the East-West Shrine Game. He has to get strongerbut showed good lateral movement in pa s protection. Senat should shine at the combine because of his athleticism.Kentavius Street, DE, North Carolina State Overshadowed Clark Harris Jersey a bit at N.C. State by first-round prospect Bradley Chubb, B.J. Hill and Justin Jones, Street is a heck of a player. He has great hands with an explosive burst off the ball. A natural speed rusher with the versatility and size at 6-2, 287 to play up and down the line, he had 122 tackles, 19 1/2 for lo s, and 9 1/2 sacks and was one of the stars in Januarys East-West Shrine Game. He can boost his stock even more with a good showing at the combine. « Get Top Branded Security Screens For DoorsLawrence Ezekiel Elliott ready to get ba » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
