Piggybacking off of Tuesday’s look at Myles Garrett and the improvements players from the past two draft classes have made since high school, I thought it would be fun to see how well we can predict who the “winners” and “losers” will be this weekend. Nike’s SPARQ combines do not include two key pro drills - the broad jump and the three-cone - but I was able to find at least partial results for 118 prospects tested on the vertical jump, 40-yard dash and 20-yard “short” shuttle. High schoolers are not tested for 225-pound bench press reps, but about a quarter of this sample did perform a powerball toss, which can be used as a rough approximation of the bench.
