Every scouting combine has its share of fascinating quarterback stories, and the 2018 combine was no different. Sam Darnold didn't throw. Lamar Jackson didn't run the 40-yard dash, though he did charm most people at the podium.
For college quarterbacks who aren't prominent names, the combine can be a struggle to get noticed—one of the last chances to get on the NFL's radar before the draft. Throwing sessions play a big part in that, and for lesser-known quarterbacks, sometimes the only way to get on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is to be a "thrower" for the running backs the day before the quarterback and receiver drills.
