First up is quarterback John Smith. He comes from Ohio State University. John stands at 6 feet 4 inches tall. He weighs 225 pounds. That’s a good size for a quarterback. His arm is really strong. He can throw the ball far and fast. He is also quick on his feet. John can run away from defenders. Last season, he threw for 4,000 yards. He made 35 touchdowns too. His team almost won the national championship. People say he plays like Patrick Mahomes from the Kansas City Chiefs. The New York Jets need a new quarterback. They have the second pick in the draft. The Detroit Lions also want one. They pick fifth. Both teams will watch John closely.
Next is wide receiver Lisa Johnson. She played at the University of Alabama. Lisa is 5 feet 10 inches tall. She weighs 190 pounds. She may not be super tall. But she is very fast. Lisa ran a 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds. That’s super quick. She runs her routes well too. This helps her get away from defenders. Last season, she caught 90 passes. She gained 1,200 yards. She scored 12 touchdowns. Experts think she’ll be picked in the first round. The Green Bay Packers need a fast receiver. The Dallas Cowboys do too. Lisa could fit with either team.
On defense, there’s edge rusher Michael Brown. He’s from the University of Georgia. Michael is 6 feet 5 inches tall. He weighs 260 pounds. That’s a great size for his position. He is strong and fast. Offensive players struggle to stop him. Last year, he got 15 sacks. That means he tackled the quarterback 15 times. He also had 20 tackles for loss. He messes up the other team’s plans. Michael should be a top-10 pick. The Houston Texans want a better defense. The Chicago Bears need help too. They might draft him early.
Then there’s running back David Lee. He played at the University of Southern California. David is 5 feet 11 inches tall. He weighs 215 pounds. He runs with power and speed. That makes him special. Last season, he ran for over 1,500 yards. He scored 18 touchdowns. David can catch passes too. This makes him useful all the time. The Miami Dolphins need a stronger run game. The Atlanta Falcons do as well. David could go in the first or second round.
The NFL Combine is more than just running and jumping. Players talk to teams in interviews. Doctors check their health too. These things matter a lot. A good Combine can help a player get picked earlier. A bad one can make them drop. These prospects know this. They will try their hardest. Teams are watching. The NFL could look different after this event.
