The 2023 NFL Combine opened its on-field drills on Thursday, starting with the defensive linemen and linebacker groups. As is tradition, one group began by running the 40-yard dash, then shifted into position drills, while another group completed agility drills and measured jumps.
While the measurable numbers from the skill drills are slowly being released, let’s take a close look at the edge rushers who stood out.

Note: Some edge rushers that project to the SAM role (i.e James Houston), were grouped with the linebackers at the Combine and will be included in that article.
