NFL Combine 2019: Draft prospects who stood out

Dwayne Haskins, QB, Ohio State

Considering Kyler Murray didn’t participate in any of the on-field drills, I thought Haskins really put his name back into conversations with the two-sport star from Oklahoma drawing the spotlight in recent weeks.

Haskins might not have done anything impressive athletically, but all I wanted to see is him running in that five flat range and he did. When it came to throwing the ball – and that is really what it’s all about for quarterbacks – he was head and shoulder above the rest.

Haskins was consistently excellent with his accuracy, whether that may be putting it right on the chest on slant routes, letting the receivers run through the catch on curls and dropping dimes on post-corner routes, where the ball would have landed right on that cone to aim for when letting it go. His release was clearly the quickest and he threw some beautifully arcing deep balls. So there are no numbers I can really point at, other than this one – 50 touchdowns last season.
