Tracking Top Offensive Performances at Combine

Feb 25, 2013 at 06:49 AM

Offensive players had Saturday and Sunday to show scouts what they could do on the field at this year's NFL Combine.

Players displayed top-notch athleticism in drills that provide metrics for NFL personnel departments to add to their evaluation process of the prospects. NFL.com has a nifty results tracker that is sortable by day of workout, position, last name, school name and result.

Texas wide receiver posted the quickest 40-yard dash time of any offensive player, clocking an official time of 4.27 seconds that came close to the combine record of 4.24 set by Titans running back Chris Johnson in 2008.

Ohio offensive lineman Eric Herman and Wake Forest running back Tommy Bohanon each did 36 repetitions of 225 pounds in the bench press.

Texas A&M running back Christine Michael reached for the rafters with a vertical leap of 43 inches to lead all offensive players. A trio of receivers — Virginia Tech's Marcus Davis, Tennessee's Justin Hunter and Tennessee Tech's Da'Rick Rogers — tied for the next-highest mark (39.5 inches).

Hunter led all offensive players by broad jumping 136 inches. Goodwin and Rogers followed with 132-inch efforts. Missouri receiver T.J. Moe clocked the best effort in the three-cone drill (6.53 seconds).

Here's a look at the top two performances at each position group in five drills from Saturday and Sunday:
