Sunday’s workouts will feature the top defensive line and linebacker prospects from across the nation. The final group, defensive backs, is going through NFL Players Association meetings, psychological testing and other interviews on the day and will do its on-field portion Monday, the final day of the combine.
There are various position-specific drills that the prospects have to go through. For the defensive linemen, those drills are typically set to measure explosiveness and first-step ability. Balance is also a key factor for defensive linemen, and most of the drills are focused around rushing the passer, unsurprisingly.
In addition to those position-specific drills, there are always the mainstays of the 40-yard dash, shuttle run, three-cone drill, vertical jump and broad jump. All positions engage in those drills and most players from each position will do every one of them, barring injury.
