As the 2019 NFL Combine is fast approaching, football lovers are heads up for the most intriguing names on the draft list.
The 2019 NFL Combine test will be underway Thursday and names are on the football fanatics' minds. Below are the just some of the highly anticipated names to make it to the draft lists as well as their potentials that could possibly make them one step ahead of the others and the known shortcomings that could hinder them from gaining ground as a player.
Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma made his name in the baseball field and is now aspiring to make a name should he make it to the 2019 NFL Combine draft. He may be shorter than 5-foot-10 and lighter than 195 pounds but he is truly a potential with the MLB showing signs of wanting him back in baseball. Being the most talked about name in the draft list, Murray still has a lot of answering and proving to do before gaining a spot on the football world.
Taylor Rapp, DB, Washington proved that he has something to say last March when he ran a 3.88 short shuttle time. His most recent record running at 6.57-second three-cone speaks for itself marking the record of the fastest short shuttle run by any defensive back since 2016 and ranked number three fastest three-cone time among safeties for 2018. The said numbers, however, will remain as figures until he passes the testing and agility drills on Thursday to make it to the 2019 NFL Combine draft.
Andy Isabella, WR, UMass was the press favorite impressing the crowd with his stunning performance of seven receptions, 74 yards, one touchdown, one rush, 14 yards during the Senior Bowl. He caught the media attention right from their practice and further showed consistency during the game. Football fanatics remain hopeful that he could translate his UMass performance to the Patriots once he makes it to the 2019 NFL Combine draft.
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss, may have faced sorts of hindrances as the 2019 NFL Combine draft approaches incurring injuries on his neck and back but the past few days were for him to bring himself back in shape in time for the test. Being recognized as one of the most physically gifted receivers in the draft class, Metcalf is truly one of the names that football fans are watching closely as he has the great potential of making it to the top five.
