NFL COMBINE EXPERIENCE

What prospects did we go see?...
Defensive Lineman/Defensive Ends/ Linebackers
At the combine we were able to watch Bradley Chubb, Defensive End out of NC State. Chubb has been projected by many to be drafted by the Indianapolis Colts with the 3rd Pick. My brother and I are huge Colt's fans so it was amazing to watch the possible "future" of the Colt's defense run through drills.
-Hupp & TA has Bradley Chubb ranked as the #1 Defensive End and has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafting him with the 7th Pick. |

The highlight of the combine was watching the prospects run the 40 yard dash. The 40 yard dash is the most hyped event and can significantly raise or drop a player's draft stock. One guy who absolutely blew everyone away with his 40 yard dash was Shaquem Griffin. Griffin is a linebacker out of the University of Central Florida. Due to being born with a condition, Shaquem lost his hand at a young age. Originally, he wasn't even going to be invited to the NFL Combine and was probably going to be undrafted. Analysts stated that because he only has 1 hand, he'd probably be drafted in the 7th round (last round) of the Draft. But, after running a 4.38 second 40 yard dash, Shaquem not only raised his draft stock, he made history. Griffin officially ran the fastest 40 yard dash by a linebacker in the history of the NFL Combine.
