Thursday kicked off the first day of on-field testing and drills at the 2024 NFL Combine. The defensive front seven was in action, the interior defensive lineman, DEs/EDGE rushers, and off-ball linebackers. A solid workout overall for the group. The EDGE rushers were freaky, like they always are, the inside linebackers ran well, but I was most interested in identifying the defensive lineman who could scratch the Pittsburgh Steelers itch.
From a measurable and testing standpoint, it’s hard to find names who check all the boxes. The height, weight, length, and overall performance. Seeing Thursday’s Combine results, there are a couple more lineman who, at least on paper, fit.
