Winners:
John Ross, WR, Washington: He broke the 40-yard dash record with a 4.22. Need I say more?
Evan Engram, TE, Ole Miss: He ran a 4.42 40 yard dash at 6'3'' and 233 lbs. Plus he had a 36'' vert, 125-inch broad jump, and he placed 2nd and 3rd in the 3 cone drill and short shuttle, respectively. That is wide receiver athleticism in a tight end body.
George Kittle, TE, Iowa: I'm not sure anyone expected Kittle to be this athletic. At almost 6'4 and 247 lbs, Kittle ran 4.52 in the 40-yard dash, had a 35-inch vert, and 132-inch broad jump
Speedy Noil, WR, Texas A&M: He didn't run the 40, but he jumped a 43.5 inch vertical. If anything, he pretty much ensured himself he will get drafted.
Trevor Knight, QB, Texas A&M: Knight had a good chance of not being drafted before his combine workout, where he ran a 4.54 in the 40 and looked good in the field drills.
Chris Godwin, WR, Penn State: I knew Godwin would jump well, but I had no idea he was fast enough to run a 4.43 in the 40.
Robert Davis, WR, Georgia St: Robert Davis went from a nobody to a sleeper pick in one day. He is 6'2.5'', weighs, 219 lbs, and had the following performances: 4.44 40, 41-inch vert, 136-inch broad jump, 6.82 3-cone, 4.28 short shuttle. Domination has been personified.
Losers:
Deshone Kizer, QB, Notre Dame: He showed off the tools while throwing, but he also showed why he completed under 60% of his passes at Notre Dame. Inaccuracy in his Achilles heel.
Travis Rudolph, WR, Florida State: I've always thought Rudolph was overrated, but his combine performance has me asking what does he even do that is good? He ran a 4.65, jumped 31 inches in the vert, and broad jumped 114 inches. Those numbers would have been bad for this year's tight end group much less for a 5'11'', 189-pound receiver.
Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech: He dropped several passes on his gauntlet run. That will have scouts digging in to how good his hands actually are.
David Njoku, TE, Miami: I knew he would jump well, but I thought he would run a faster 40 time (4.64). He probably let Evan Engram pass him on some draft boards.
Drew Morgan, WR, Arkansas: He ran a 4.74 40 yard dash at 5'11'' and 190 lbs. That's not good.
