On Sunday, March 6th, sixty-one defensive backs will take the field at Lucas Oil Stadium for on-field workouts at the scouting combine. This group makes up two positions on the defense: safety and cornerback
As far as the safety position goes, there is a clear drop-off after the number one guy, Kyle Hamilton from Notre Dame. So that being said, players will be fighting to get noticed when testing their speed, explosiveness, and fluidity. Whether that is in the speed turn drill, box drill, or just simply running the 40-yard dash.
When it comes to the cornerback position, each analyst seems to have different choices at numbers one, two and three. They say at the combine, a player can lose a million-dollar contract if they don’t test well, and so, that makes this one of the most anticipated positions of the entire weekend.
When it comes to testing change of speed, pad height, hip fluidity and balance, a defensive back must have it all. Some prospects will test better than others, and this Sunday we may find out who our top defensive backs are.
Let’s see which ones have a chance to raise their stock.
