The NFL has released the list of defensive backs invited to the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis

With the explosiveness of offenses in the NFL in today’s age and quarterbacks throwing for 5000+ yards becoming a regular occurrence, teams need to have strong secondaries. Some of the best defensive backs coming out of college are found at the annual NFL Scouting Combine.

The Seattle Seahawks have transcended the NFL with the Legion of Boom and their impressive abilities they show every week in the secondary.

The league has gone away from being a ground-and-pound running league to a passing league, so having a secondary is a must.

Skill position players are always the most sought after for their ability to make plays. This year will be no different as scouts around the league try to find the guys to improve their respective secondaries.

This group of individuals will have their chance in the next few weeks to show why they can be the guys to create the next great secondary in the NFL.
