As 2017 NFL draft prospects engage in drills and tests at the scouting combine in Indianapolis this week, let's take a look at which players already have the extreme skills and athleticism that will turn heads. Here are the 10 biggest freak athletes who are sure to show off their athletic prowess during combine workouts:
Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
In 2014, 6-foot-5, 266-pound defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney ran a 4.53 40-yard dash, recorded a vertical jump of 37.5 inches and had a broad jump of 10 feet, 4 inches at the combine before the Texans drafted him first overall. To provide some perspective, all of those numbers are better than the five-year combine averages for wide receivers. Garrett, who is listed at 6-5 and 261 pounds, has the athleticism to rival and potentially surpass that performance. Those are lofty expectations but realistic when you consider the explosive get-off, impressive closing speed and flexibility he shows on tape. He'll also have an opportunity to show teams he moves well enough in space and line up as a 3-4 OLB during position-specific drills.
