Recommended Posts

Projected early round picks Myles Jack, Kendall Fuller and Max Tuerk among the prospects whose knee injuries (and subsequent surgeries) will keep them sidelined for many of the athletic tests conducted during next week's Scouting Combine.

NFL scouts will be eager to find out the exact measurements of the prospects in Indianapolis, especially players like Cal's Jared Goff, Baylor's Corey Coleman and Florida's Vernon Hargreaves, who all have question marks about size.

That plunge for information intensifies next week at the scouting combine, the league's annual gathering of prospects in Indianapolis.

Arguably the most important function of the NFL Combine is for NFL teams to receive full medical reports on all 323 prospects in Indianapolis. And for players like Myles Jack, Jaylon Smith and several others, the feedback from the medical staff is vital to their draft projection.
