The combine is a great way for players to prove themselves. Players can raise their draft stock if they perform well at the combine. Some players could really use the help of a good combine performance. 4 potential star players to watch at the combine would be Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins . All of these players are expected to be drafted in the top 10 in the 2019 NFL draft.
Josh Allen could help solidify his spot as a top 3 draft pick if he has a stellar combine performance. He is No.9 on the SEC’s all time sack list with 31.5 sacks over his 4 year career at Kentucky. I believe Allen will be drafted in at least the top 5. Now Kyler Murray is interesting. He can run and throw very well but he is short compared to normal NFL QB’s. Just because he’s short doesn’t mean he can’t have success. Drew Brees and Russell Wilson are prime examples of short QB’s having success in the NFL. Murray is not going to throw at the combine. I think this is a bad move because you want scouts and GM’s to see all of your abilities and not just a couple. Still with all that being said, if he as a great outing at the combine he could surpass Dwayne Haskins as the first QB off he board. Dwayne Haskins only played one year at Ohio State. Grated he had Heisman caliber season, a strong combine performance could help his draft stock go up and solidify him as the number 1 QB in the draft. He is an NFL size QB and has the ability to be a franchise quarterback in the future( for the NY Giants I hope).
