The interior defensive linemen kicked off the televised coverage of the 2024 NFL Combine, and as anticipated, the prospects projected to be the top of this class put on some very impressive performances.
Of the eight prospects that seem the most likely to be selected in the top 100 picks, two of them didn’t participate—Jer’Zhan Newton (Illinois) and Michael Hall (Ohio State)—one had a tough day, and the other five showed very well. But there was one defensive tackle that stood out with a sensational day.
Braden Fiske, Florida State (6-foot-4, 292)
A clean sweep of first-place finishes in the speed and explosion drills, Fiske ran the fastest 40-yard dash, registered the highest vertical jump, as well as the longest broad jump.
