2018 NFL Scouting Combine: Day 4 schedule
By Joe Schiller
The final day of the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine wraps up Monday at Lucas Oil Stadium. Here’s a look at the schedule for the remaining position groups.
Today marks the last day of the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. The yearly event wraps up on Monday with the final position groups participating in drills. We’ve seen over 300 of college football’s top prospects compete and show off their best skills throughout the week. In one of the NFL’s biggest offseason stages, it’s been an exciting week nonetheless.
Defensive backs are the only positional group that remains in Indianapolis. They were the last to arrive and the last to leave. Having said that, it’s one of the most anticipated groups in the combine. There’s an array of depth from cornerback to safety with Minkah Fitzpatrick the star of the class and a potential top-five pick.
With the week dwindling down, the schedule is a lot easier to read with one day left.
Here’s a look:
Day 4 Schedule: Defensive Backs
On-Field Workouts (timing, stations, skill drills) – 8 a.m. ET-1 p.m.
Players will have their shot at the 40-yard dash and other measurables but will also get the chance to show off their coverage skills on the field. Look out for LSU cornerback Donte Jackson’s speed. We haven’t seen any prospects come close to John Ross’ 4.22 record but Jackson could change that.
Fitzpatrick, Josh Jackson, Denzel Ward and Derwin James are all names to watch on the field tomorrow. There’s a good chance the trio could be selected in the first half of the first round picks. There’s a multitude of depth in one of the most important positions in football. That bodes well for teams looking to upgrade at the position and stop teams from passing all over them.
