Winners and Losers from Day 3 of the combine

Written by Christian Lysek

Forrest Lamp

The first on the field drills were yesterday, and they definitely were interesting. Let's see who won and lost yesterday:

Winners:

Christian McCaffrey, RB, Stanford: Quite the bounce back, eh? After disappointing during the bench press, McCaffrey runs a 4.48 40, jumps 37.5 inches in the air, 121 inches in the broad jump, and runs the second best 3-cone drill mark in the last 15 years according to NFL research. Oh, and he crushed the field drills.
Forrest Lamp, OG, WKU: Lamp has been on a mission to destroy every event at the combine. he ran a 5.0 40 yard dash, has a 111-inch broad jump, a 27.5-inch vertical jump, a 7.55 3-cone, and a 4.62 short shuttle. That's called crushing it, folks.
Garrett Bolles, OT, Utah: Bolles showed off his athleticism yesterday, and the highlights were a 4.95 second 40 time and a 115-inch broad jump. That shows some great lower body explosion and athleticism.
Pharoh Brown, TE, Oregon: Pharoh Brown continues to stand out among the tight ends, as he came in first on the bench press with 24 reps.
Chris Carson, RB, Oklahoma St: Chris Carson is putting together a performance that will make me go scour for more tape. At 6' and 218 lbs, Carson ran a 4.58 40 yard dash, had a 37 inch vertical, and had a 130-inch broad jump. Those are some explosive numbers that are bound to turn heads.
TJ Logan, RB, North Carolina: TJ Logan seemed to be one of the rising prospects heading into the combine because he stood out on tape while scouts watched Mitch Trubisky. Now he is running a 4.37 40 with 121 in the broad jump and 33.5-inch vertical jump at 196 pounds. Can you say sleeper pick?

Losers:

Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU: I know he ran a great 40, but cmon, a 28.5 inch vertical? You can bet teams are going to hunt down exactly why he did so poorly.
Rushel Shell, RB, West Virginia: I know he is a "big back" at 231 lbs, but a 4.74 40 is straight up bad How are you supposed to pull away from anyone when almost every defender on the field runs a faster sprint than you?
Devine Redding, RB, Indiana: At least Shell has weight as an excuse. Redding ran a 4.76 40 yard dash at 208 lbs. That is the type of stuff that keeps you from being drafted, especially in a great running back class.
Damien Mama, OG, USC: Damien Mama can be called be a road grater or whatever, but it doesn't change that he lacks any athleticism. He placed last in the 40-yard dash, 3-cone drill, and short shuttle, and it wasn't close either.
Chad Wheeler, OT, USC: Chad Wheeler did terrible in the timed drills, which everyone saw coming, but he was especially bad on the field. My grandpa was less stiff and was quicker at 80 than Wheeler is now.
Rueben Foster, LB, Alabama: He was sent home for playing the "do you know who I am card" with a hospital worker and engaging in a heated argument. Not the smartest thing to do at a place where the slightest red flag is treated like a radioactive bomb.
