9:10 a.m.: The NFL Scouting Combine finally turns its attention to the defensive side of the ball Sunday.
All of the offensive players have flown home from Indianapolis, leaving defensive linemen and linebackers to work out Sunday. Cornerbacks and safeties will work out Monday, the final day of the combine.
Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is considered the top player in the draft. The other top defensive linemen in this class are Stanford’s Solomon Thomas, Tennessee’s Derek Barnett, Michigan’s Taco Charlton, Alabama’s Jonathan Allen and Michigan State’s Malik McDowell. The top linebackers are Alabama’s Reuben Foster, who was sent home, Ohio State’s Raekwon McMillan, Vanderbilt’s Zach Cunningham, UCLA’s Takk McKinley and Alabama Tim Williams. Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers will work out with linebackers and safeties at 5-foot-11, 213 pounds.
It could be tough to top Saturday, when John Ross broke the 40-yard dash record, but some elite athletes will be on display.
We’ll track their 40-yard dash times and other drills they’ll run through this morning. Stay here for updates.
