5 Standouts From the NFL Combine Who Can

The NFL Combine is complete and you can now check off another box from the draft evaluation circuit.Over the course of the week, prospects went through an abundance of on-field drills, a se sed for medical exams and met with teams. Just like any showcase event, there are those who rise above the rest and others who just can't find a way to separate themselves.Here are five standouts from Montrezl Harrell Jersey the NFL Combine who fill draft needs for the Chargers:WR Chris Olave, Ohio StateOlave has been highly considered for how smooth and easy he plays the game. It was no different when he endured the testing portion at the NFL Combine. During pa s-catching drills, Olave caught nearly everything in sight, deep and short. He ran a 40-yard dash at 4.39 seconds to coincide with his 32-inch vertical and Paul George Jersey 10-4 broad jump. If the Chargers choose to use free agency to pour resources into the defensive side of the ball and opt to go wide receiver in round one of the draft, Olave is an option to elevate the weapons around quarterback Justin Herbert.DT Jordan Davis, GeorgiaDavis stole the show at the NFL Combine on Saturday. At 6'6" and 341 pounds, he ran a stunning 4.78 40-yard dash. Davis is a mammoth defender who consistently blew up blocks during his time at Georgia, busting into the backfield. He looked to have dropped some weight from the threshold he played at during the season, so that will be something coaches and scouts take into consideration. Can he stay at the 340 mark or is he bound to go up in pounds? Nonethele s, Davis' potential has yet to be fully unlocked. He's still developing a true arsenal of moves from a pa s Avery Bradley Jersey rush standpoint but would presumably step in Day 1 and lift the Chargers' defensive tackle position in stopping the run with a gigantic anchor locking down the middle spot.Scroll to ContinueCB Trent McDuffie, WashingtonMcDuffie is a first round cornerback prospect who shared this week that among the teams he met with at the combine, the Chargers were one of them.He ran a 4.44 40-yard dash and looked smooth backpedaling in the change of direction drills. McDuffie didnt allow a touchdown the last two seasons at Washington. Chargers coach Brandon Staley said last week in Indianapolis, theyre going to pursue cornerbacks. If that's in the form of the NFL Draft,McDuffie is in play to presumably join Asante Samuel and Michael Davis.CB Coby Bryant, CincinnatiBryant was the Jim Thrope Award winner in 2021 given to the nation's top Rodney McGruder Jersey defensive back. At the combine, he didnt blaze past the rest of the cornerback group, recording a 4.54 40-yard dash. But given his frame at 6'1" with long legs, it's an acceptable time. Some teams could perhaps get too tied up in how he fared in straight-line speed but everything considered, posting 17 reps on the bench pre s and showing adequate fluidity in the change of direction drills,Bryant could be a Chargers' target on Day 2 of the NFL Draft. Bryant surrendered a44% catch rate while logging three interceptions and eleven pa s breakups this past season.CB Tariq Woolen, UTSAWoolen has helped himself as much as anyone throughout the draft proce s. He turned some heads at the Reese's Senior Bowl in early February and the NFL Combine was no different. The UTSA product was the second-fastest player at the event, clocking Landry Shamet Jersey in with a 40-yard dash time of 4.26 seconds tying the fourth-fastest in combine history. With the Chargers playing the Chiefs, Raiders and Broncos six times a year and having to matchup against the wide receiver talent their division rivals po se s, adding a speedster at cornerback is a viable option.More from Charger Report
