1. One player who is not expected to run all that fast at the Combine is Laquon Treadwell. Rated by most analysts as the top receiver in the NFL Draft, those around Treadwell will be satisfied if he runs in the mid 4.5s during his workout on Saturday, February 27.
2. The top quarterbacks in the NFL Draft are all expected to throw a week from Saturday and will be the featured story. One signal-caller teams are excited to see is Jeff Driskel. After transferring from Florida, the strong-armed passer turned in a terrific campaign last season at Louisiana Tech then had his moments during Senior Bowl week. Teams were impressed with the way Driskel picked up the offense and improved each day. A number of franchises have stamped him with a second-round grade and believe a good Combine performance could put Driskel at the top of the second tier of quarterbacks ahead of Connor Cook, Christian Hackenberg and Jacoby Brissett.
3. Interest in small-school cornerback Harlan Miller of Southeastern Louisiana has picked up steam since the Senior Bowl. Teams were impressed with his play, ball skills and ability to shut down Oklahoma receiver Sterling Shepard during drills raised a few eyebrows. I’m told Miller is expected to move his 6-foot frame across the 40 yards at the Combine in the low 4.4-second range, a time much faster than most expect. Good workouts in Indianapolis could secure Miller as a top-75 pick.
4. Many were surprised when Stanford’s Aziz Shittu was left out in the cold with no Combine invitation. So why didn’t he receive one? I’m told the influx of underclassmen entering the draft soaked up almost one-third of the invitations. The number of defensive lineman who received invitations alone (63 in total) meant someone would be left out in the cold. There are still a number of teams who grade Shittu as a mid-round prospect with some listing him at defensive end and others at defensive tackle.
