The NFL Scouting Combine kicked off on Thursday, as defensive lineman and linebackers in the 2024 draft class looked to showcase their skills in front of general managers, coaches, and scouts.
Several future NFL players increased their draft stock with impressive showings, starting with Florida State defensive lineman Braden Fiske. He posted a time of 4.78 seconds in the 40-yard dash, good enough to lead all defensive tackles (via NFL.com). Fiske also paced his fellow defensive tackle prospects with a 33.50" vertical jump as well as a 9'9" broad jump.
He was aware of his strong performance during the 40-yard dash, exclaiming "oh yeah" as he crossed the finish line.
