NFL Combine 2019: Draft prospects who stood out

Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State

The biggest winner of the entire combine might have been the Buckeyes’ athletic team, considering how all those guys were flying around Lucas Oil Stadium. The guy I want to focus on here was the leading receiver for the Ohio State offense. Campbell really showed out in that entire workout, jumping 40 inches vertically and going for 11 feet and 3 inches on the broad jump.

He also put up the best 40-yard dash number among all wide receivers at 4.31 and finished up with a tremendous on-field session. Campbell looked very natural, not having to put too much strain on catching the ball and really trusting his hands, which was apparent on the toe tap drill. He also mastered the gauntlet and tracked the ball exceptionally well over his shoulder, especially on that fade route where he had to turn his head pretty much 180 degrees while looking it in right at the sideline, showing tremendous concentration.

There were four Buckeye receivers with at least 650 yards last season and the three of them who were at the combine all ran really well, but with that workout, Campbell put himself in position as the clear-cut number one guy.
