Each and every year, it seems like we’re talking about a big, nasty defensive lineman to potentially go No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft. This year, it’s no different, with guys like Leonard Williams from USC and Dante Fowler of Florida dominating the discussion. Some of them will wind up being linebackers at the next level, but during the NFL Scouting Combine, the top players were definitely defensive linemen.

Vic Beasley of Clemson has always been in discussions as one of the top defenders, but always just out of the top three discussion. Beasley turned plenty of heads at the combine, though, running a blistering 4.53 40-yard dash on Sunday. That’s incredibly impressive for a man his size, especially given he also put up 225 pounds 35 times in the bench press.
If anybody significantly increased their draft stock on Sunday, it was Beasley. But others had good showings, like LSU defensive lineman Danielle Hunter, who put up a 4.57 40-yard dash. Both Dante Fowler and Eli Harold ran a 4.6 flat, also putting them near the top. The slowest time went to Danny Shelton, but that’s not surprising given the guy is absolutely massive. Shelton is often in discussions for top defensive tackle in this draft.
