The NFL Combine has come and gone, and now we can look at who were showstoppers in Indianapolis. The invite-only event was attended by every head coach and general manager, plus other front office executives. It's a place where teams decide who they will draft and who they will pass on.
Kyler Murray - Oklahoma
Kyler Murray has become the talk of the town, after finally deciding to play pro football and passing on a baseball career with the Oakland Athletics. Murray ended up not doing a single drill or test, but his stock has definitely skyrocketed. Teams were concerned that he was too small to play quarterback, weighing 200 pounds and being 5-foot-9. Murray is expected to become the shortest quarterback taken in the first round since 2003. Murray will next compete in events at the Oklahoma pro-day.
D.K. Metcalf - Ole Miss
While his college season was cut short by injuries, he still managed to blow the roof off at the NFL combine. Metcalf measured in at 6-foot-3 and 228 pounds. He left his mark as the number one wide receiver. His performances show that he has the speed and strength to become a top receiver.

Montez Sweat - Mississippi State
Sweat is a 6-foot-6 defensive lineman, who left his mark with speed and power. He has several pass rushing moves that have made him become one of the top quarterback hunters in the SEC. He recorded the best 40-yard dash at the combine.
Garrett Bradbury - North Carolina State
Bradbury exits the NFL Combine with his stock soaring. Bradbury's 40-yard dash put him among the top 95 percent of offensive lineman. Team front office officials praised Bradbury. Bradbury is expected to become a late first round pick.
Miles Boykin - Notre Dame
The wide receiver class is strong this year. Boykin's performance during the combine, put him above the rest. Boykin ended up 9th when it came to running the 40. He was the strongest in the jumps.
