The first day of drills in the field in the NFL Scouting combines in Indianapolis saw defensive liners, edge corridors and supporters take the field inside the Lucas oil stadium in Indianapolis. A handful of perspectives raised their stock with strong performances, while others returned the explorers to the tape.
These are some of the winners and losers of the exercises in the field on Thursday, starting with a look at the measures of the perspectives in The 50 best CBS Sports consensus classifications.
Border qualification of the best class/dl/lb
Edge Abdul Carter, Penn State: N/A
It has been revealed that Abdul Carter He has a stress reaction on his right foot. Fortunately, after more scanning, the surgery was not recommended to surgery. Still, he did not exercise in Indianapolis.
Edge Jalon Walker, Georgia: N/A
Walker, a possible Top 10 selection, decided not to do exercises in the field on Thursday.
Edge James Pearce Jr., Tennessee: A
All about Pearce’s training was fantastic, except his 31 -inch vertical. Of course, it has a frame built to run fast, which it did with a 40 -yard board of 4.47 seconds, but at least meet the expectations with more than 6 feet 5 and 245 pounds. The 1.56 seconds division of 10 yards has been in the 93th percentile since 1999. Explosive training for the Tennessee star, and also seemed ridiculously soft in the exercises in the field.
Edge Mykel Williams, Georgia: N/A
Williams decided not to exercise in the harvester.
Edge Mike Green, Marshall: N/A
Green decided to stand in his captures of 17.0 FBS leaders in 2024 and did not participate in training in Indianapolis.
LB Jihaad Campbell, Alabama: A-
Campbell seems to be a human rocket in the football field, and validated said the explosiveness in the harvester with a large 10 -inch feet to go along with a 4.52 blistering with a 1.53 division in the 40 -yard race in almost 6 feet 3 and 235 pounds. It is built to be a modern supporter (star).
Edge Nic Scourton, Texas A&M: N/A
Scourton did not compete at Lucas Oil Stadium on Thursday night.
Edge Shemar Stewart, Texas A&M: A+
Stewart should have started after training. I could not have done anything else to become viral, raise your stock, etc. Run 4.59 with a vertical 40 inches and a division of 1.58 10 yards about 270 pounds is frankly voluntary. Do not be surprised to see Stewart in the Top 20 or even the top 15 in simulated drafts from now on.
Edge Jack Sawyer, Ohio State: N / A
Sawyer will exhibit his talents on the professional day of Ohio State on March 27.
Edge Donovan Ezeiruaku, Boston College: A-
Ezeiruaku knew that he would destroy the agility exercises, so he shook them, then stayed out of the 40 -yard race. Its 6.94 was the fastest cone among edge corridors. His 4.19 was the fastest short shuttle. The vertical 35.5 inches was solid of rock. The 11 – -inch wide jump was fine, not spectacular. The Ezeiruaku game is predicted, above all, in its ability to bend/dive around the edge.

Cody Benjamin
Other winners
Edge Jah Joyner, Minnesota
With 6-4 and 262 pounds, Joyner, with 34-inch arms, was recorded at 22.58 mph in the 40-yard race, with much the fastest speed of any edge corridor and faster than most of all the supporters outside the ball that participated in that event in Indianapolis. Four -year -old contribution and captain in Minnesota, Joyner demonstrated his explosive features in Indy.
LB Teddye Buchanan, California
A vertical jump of 40 inches and 10 feet and 5 inches to more than 6 feet 2 and 233 pounds? Yes, that will work in the supporter position in today’s NFL. The former UC Cal outstanding who played his last season for the Golden Bears also flies in the film, and is a tremendous tacle. In addition, he is an expert in coverage. Now, with this training, it personifies the term “sleeping.”
Other losers
LB Chris Paul Jr., Ole Miss
Paul was one of the little supporters who attended this year with just over 6 feet and 222 pounds. He measured with shorter arms of 30 inches, which are incredibly short. Although its 36 -inch vertical was above the average, its 4.63 in the 40 was not spectacular, especially for a supporter outside the ball of almost 220 pounds. Good player in the movie; It did not comply with what would be considered widely the requirements of features in some key areas.
