NFL Scouting Combine presents a lot of debate about the best players in multiple positions

Indianapolis (AP) – The hopes of many NFL teams will begin to take shape this week as the combination of annual league exploration in Indianapolis begins.

As usual, there will be a lot to discuss.

There does not seem to a general selection No. 1 clear or a upper field marshal so far. Explorers are still trying to determine if Heisman Travis Hinter trophy winner It would be more productive as a closing corner, a game receiver or both.

But the combination gives each team more information about how the 329 prospects in the draft will be evaluated that will take place from April 24 to 26 in Green Bay.

Here is a look at what could lead the discussions between the players who arrive in the city on Tuesday and the training conclusion on Monday.

Travis hinter, cb/wr, Colorado

Hunter could be the most intriguing draft leaflet in the history of the combination due to its versatility. Some consider it both the best corner in the draft And the best receiver.

Although he is scheduled to exercise Friday with defensive backs, the organizers invited him to spend an extra night and exercise on Saturday with the receptors, which makes him the first two -way player in the history of combination.

Could you follow the example of other higher perspectives and omit the exercises in the field? Sure. Or I could choose to create the greatest rumor of the week exercising in both places. The first indication could arrive on Thursday when it is expected to meet with journalists.

Cam Ward, QB, Miami and Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

The two former PAC-12 rivals will share the great stage again this week, even if neither of them participates in the exercises in the field of Saturday, since they try to be the first quarterback selected in April.

They took very different trips to Indy.

Ward had a scholarship offer that came out of high school and turned a successful career in the embodied word of the FCS school into an initial work in the state of Washington. He even declared for the draft last year before re -entering the transfer portal and landing in Miami, where his decision was worth it.

Ward broke the NCAA race record with 158 TD passes Divided between his periods FCS and FBS, he took Miami to the cusp of a position in the playoffs and finished a Heisman finalist.

Sanders, son of the corner of the Hall of Fame, Deion Sanders, seemed prepared to be in this mixture for years. It is necessary, mobile, has a strong arm and is outgoing.

It is also Franco, although explorers may have greater concerns about the influence that Sanders’ father could play in his professional career, and it is not expected to work until the professional day of Colorado next month.

Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia

The former Georgia star could be the advantage corridor in this year’s draft class, perhaps supplanting Penn State ABDUL Carter player, in case everything falls into its place.

First, however, Walker must answer questions about where he fits better in a defense of the NFL.

Its productivity and general skills are unquestionable. But at the university, it appeared in 6 feet 2, 245 pounds, making some wonder if it is a better passes corridor or a better traditional supporter. This week’s numbers could help solve a debate that could remain on the day of the Draft.

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Jeanty looks like a virtual blockade Be the best chosen corridor after producing the second one -season total race in the history of FBS. It has the combination of typically coveted power and exhaust speed equipment.

The question is how high will go?

Many teams have chosen to wait for runners to slide, and also underestimated the position in free agency. But the great acquisitions of free agents last year, Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry and Josh Jacobs, had great seasons and could change this year’s decisions.

Will Johnson, CB, Michigan

Johnson did not have the last university season he imagined after winning a national championship mainly because a bruised shoulder and a finger of the foot limited him to eight games.

When he is healthy, Johnson is among the best in his position.

The teams are likely to spend more time making it ready to start time. If so, Johnson should be a selection of the 15 best and could move towards the top 10 with a good time in 40.
