Monday open thread: Who will be the star of the 2022 NFL Combine?

Athleticism has a strong correlation with success in the NFL. If you’re in the market for game-changing players, look no further than the NFL Combine.

After months of film review, the Combine allows us to assign numbers to a player’s athletic traits. Across every position, there are players poised to put up great numbers. At quarterback, Malik Willis could bolster his claim for QB1—if he chooses to run. The Detroit Lions will certainly have their eyes on pass rushers Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux, both of whom are expected to test exceedingly well. Meanwhile, Kyle Hamilton is regarded as a unicorn prospect, an athletic game-changer that could emerge as a rare top-five safety prospect.
