Top Tweets from Day 1 of the 2018 NFL Combine

With UCLA T Kolton Miller recording a 10'1" broad jump, that tops...

Lane Johnson 9'10"
Taylor Lewan 9'9"
Eric Fisher 9'8"
Garett Bolles 9'7"

For the top results since (at least) 2006. All of those went first round...

Only 4 OGs have been taken in the Top 5 since 2001. Nelson better be a transcendent player if he comes off the board at No.2... I mean he needs to be a generational talent to be worthy of being selected at the top of the board. #NFLDraft #NFLCombine https://t.co/WxLkOnqD4z

All I'm taking from Quenton Nelson's workout is that he's busting it despite not being 100 percent.

— Chad Reuter (@chad_reuter) March 2, 2018

This is a really year for interior OL.
Nelson
James
Price
Hernandez
Corbett
Wynn

— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) March 2, 2018

OL1 workout thoughts: Will Hernandez even better in person than I expected. Hip movement and lateral agility evident on tape, stands out even more when compared to other OG.

— Chad Reuter (@chad_reuter) March 2, 2018

#Pittsburgh OT Brian O’Neill looks so gifted in drills but noticeably thin in his lower half for an offensive tackle.

But that, along with many of his on-film problems, are extremely fixable for NFL teams. #NFLCombine

Penn State RB Saquon Barkley at 2018 Combine:

Really strong day for Nick Chubb today. He's in tremendous shape and really reminded everyone what he is capable of.

— Lance Zierlein (@LanceZierlein) March 2, 2018

Looking at RB results. BAMA RB Scarborough had great day!
10-9 broad jump = best of RB group. 4.52 = very good 40 for 228lbs. 40" VJ = 2nd best behind Saquon

— Todd McShay (@McShay13) March 2, 2018

4.55 for Royce Freeman is 🔥

— Jonah Tuls (@JonahTulsNFL) March 2, 2018

Sub 4.5 for Rashaad Penny is very good for him. He is a tough runner who could outperform his draft position

— Shane P. Hallam (@ShanePHallam) March 2, 2018

Kamara/Michel comp holding true though with that 40. Burst kills angles from defenders more than anything.

— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) March 2, 2018

Note for those not watching: Ronald Jones' time marred by hammy or something halfway through.

— Chad Reuter (@chad_reuter) March 2, 2018

There are only 2 players to weigh 230+ lbs, run the 40-yard dash in 4.40 seconds or faster, and vertical jump 40" or higher at the Combine since 2003:

Vernon Davis (2006)
Saquon Barkley (2018)

— NFL Research (@NFLResearch) March 2, 2018

Kalen Ballage with an important 40. 4.46 is a great time for him. Tape says day 3 player, but combine will prob get him drafted day 2

— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) March 2, 2018

On and off the track, Saquon Barkley is winning the Combine so far. Excellent athlete and he's wowing teams in interviews.

"I think I had less balls batted down at the line of scrimmage than any quarterback here."#NFLCombine2018

“Growing up, I was a big Brett Favre fan. Now I take bits and pieces from different guys. [Drew] Brees is a big one.” — Baker Mayfield

— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) March 2, 2018

Mayfield: “Whatever team I go to, I’m not going to settle for a backup job.”

Josh Allen says he believes he’s the best quarterback in this draft. Adds “if you don’t have the mindset that you’re the best QB in the draft, you don’t belong in this league”

— Megan O'Brien (@MeganOBsports) March 2, 2018

USC QB Sam Darnold says he's not changing or shortening delivery. Recognizes there's some wind-up to it.#NFLCombine2018

— Chase Goodbread (@ChaseGoodbread) March 2, 2018

Sam Darnold: "I'm aware how much I turn the ball over and it's not OK."

— Patrick Maks (@maksimuspatrick) March 2, 2018

Very impressed with how Josh Allen is handling himself with the media here. Presents himself very well. He'll impress in interviews

— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) March 2, 2018

Allen says the majority of his missed throws at Wyoming had to do with poor footwork, which he’s been working on while training with Jordan Palmer alongside Sam Darnold.

Josh Rosen talking about the complexions of leadership. Says each individual responds to different motivation techniques and he hopes to develop relationships on a one on one basis with teammates.

— Kyle Crabbs (@NDTScouting) March 2, 2018

Rosen: "I went 16-0 in high school to 6-6. I think I've learned a lot more through the losses...how to deal with adversity."

— Kyle Crabbs (@NDTScouting) March 2, 2018

Immediate thought after listening to Lamar Jackson: there will be a team that falls in love with him here. The most genuine prospect we've heard from all week.

— Conor Orr (@ConorOrr) March 2, 2018

#Louisville QB Lamar Jackson: “I’m strictly a quarterback. ... Whoever likes me at quarterback, that’s where I’m going.”

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 2, 2018

Bummer - no Lamar Jackson athletic testing tomorrow. He will throw, though.

— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) March 2, 2018

Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk: Larry Fitzgerald "is a guy I try to emulate, especially off the field." Says he believes he's the best receiver in this draft. pic.twitter.com/WjRUF6qiF4

Calvin Ridley mentioned a couple of times that Antonio Brown is one of the top guys he models his game after. Said he hopes to meet him someday

— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) March 2, 2018

Great stuff from Courtland Sutton. Says he’s a dominating presence and wants to be the guy defenses are always looking for on 3rd and 5 . Impressive prospect pic.twitter.com/6EGaEY2CWQ
