The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis has reached the first of four days of on-field drills. Want to know how fast T’Vondre Sweat runs the 40-yard dash? You’ve got it. What about Chop Robinson’s broad jump? That’s coming, too.
Thursday is all about the defensive linemen and linebackers (inside and outside). Illinois’ Johnny Newton is one of the top prospects along the interior defensive line, and he’s already met with the Seahawks. T’Vondre Sweat is a whopping 366 pounds and just a giant human being. Pass rushers like Jared Verse, Dallas Turner, and Laiatu Latu are all potential first-round targets, while the off-ball linebackers include Trevin Wallace, Jeremiah Trotter Jr (to make you feel old), Payton Wilson, and Junior Colson.
