The yearly gathering of NFL personnel and media known as the NFL scouting combine takes place in Indianapolis this week, with four former Rebels participating in the activities. With the event having officially kicked off Tuesday, top prospects will be poked, prodded and analyzed before they are drafted into the league, with a skills showcase beginning Friday.
Of the four representatives the Rebels will send, Breeland Speaks has a chance to gain the most out of the week in Indianapolis. Speaks measures 6-foot-3, 285 pounds, which places him in between the sizes of an interior defensive lineman and an “edge” rusher.
