Forget Saquon Barkley, Eagles fan; his scouting combine performance cements him as a top 5 pick

INDIANAPOLIS – For many of the 337 invitees to this year’s NFL scouting combine, the four days they spend here will be among the most important of their young lives.

How they throw here, how they run here, how they catch here, the poise they show — or don’t show — in their 15-minute speed dates with teams could move them up or down – or even off — draft boards and dramatically impact their earning potential for the next three or four years.

For Saquon Barkley, however, his stay in Indy is more pleasure cruise than high-pressure business trip.
