Offensive linemen were the first of the position groups to take the field at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Offensive linemen, running backs and specialists all participated in on-field drills Friday at Lucas Oil Stadium. They are part of more than 300 draft-eligible prospects being evaluated by all 32 NFL teams.
Draft prospects partake in a variety of drills that include: 40-yard dash, 225-pound bench press, vertical jump, broad jump, 20-yard shuttle and 3-cone drill. Some also do the 60-yard shuttle.
The 40-yard dash measures pure straight-line speed and is an opportunity for skill positions such as running backs, wide receivers and cornerbacks to shine the brightest.
