3 winners and 3 SEC losers from the NFL Scouting Combine

No, the Combine isn't ever yet. Indeed, we can even now dole out a few victors and washouts from the end of the week that was.

There were rankling 40-times, great meetings and strong positional work endeavors. There were frustrating 40-times, non-40 times and head-scratching endeavors.

At that point there was Shaquem Griffin. Goodness, what an exertion it was from the previous UCF star. His 4.38-second 40-yard dash and 20 seat squeeze reps were the stuff out of a motion picture. He, be that as it may, never found the opportunity to be a SEC star since he didn't get a Power 5 grant offer. What's more, incidentally enough, he didn't get an underlying Combine welcome. He was the unchallenged champ of the end of the week.

Be that as it may, these folks were the SEC's champs and washouts from the initial 3 days of the Combine:

Champs

1. Bo Scarbrough, Alabama RB

No one in this field interested me more than Scarbrough. No one. I was interested in the event that we would see the amazing capacities that the previous Alabama back showed toward the finish of the 2016 season, or in the event that he would have been the hardened, constrained back we saw all through 2017.

It felt like the previous.

Indeed, Scarbrough just had 14 seat squeeze reps, however he breezed through each other test without a hitch. Posting a 4.52-second 40-yard dash for a 228-pound back was great, similar to his running back-best expansive hop of 10-9 and his 40-inch vertical (second among running backs) was vital, as well.

Scarbrough's touchiness was a noteworthy question mark coming into the end of the week. There are still inquiries regarding his strength and on the off chance that he can ever form into a 3-down back, however Scarbrough unquestionably didn't do anything in Indianapolis to fuel those worries. He got the attention of Todd McShay, and no doubt, he moved past the 6th round projection that some had for him.

Gracious, and he won the hearts of Alabama fans once again by saying he doesn't believe that God is an Auburn fan. That is a triumphant end of the week in the event that you ask me.

2. D.J. Chark, LSU WR

I could have effectively run with Christian Kirk here, yet I ran with Chark and here's the reason.

ESPN Stats and Info

@ESPNStatsInfo

LSU WR D.J. Chark ran a 4.34 40-yd dash, set up 16 reps on the seat press and had an informal 40" vertical jump.

Since 2006, the main player who hit those imprints at the NFL Combine as Michael Huff in 2006. Spat was picked seventh generally speaking.

Alright, so Chark wouldn't go in the main 7, however he presented a solid defense to be one of the initial couple of recipients off the board. Setting the pace with a 4.34-second 40 surely knocked some people's socks off, and it could be sufficient to get Chark into the first-round discussion.

The film will work to support Chark in light of the fact that without a genuine profound risk quarterback, despite everything he figured out how to set up strong numbers (874 accepting yards) as a lesser. A person who can extend the field vertically and evenly is a resource for an offense whether he makes a group of plays or not. Goodness, and he plays uncommon groups. That is a prompt effect fellow.

What Chark did in Indianapolis was demonstrate that his straight-line speed coordinates the film, and that if he's in the correct framework, he ought to be capable take the finish off a lot of NFL guards.

In a draft that is not stacked with top-end collectors, Chark put forth a big deal expression.

3. Antonio Callaway, Florida WR

Callaway's right on the money this rundown is far from being obviously true on the grounds that to really enhance his stock, it's about off-field issues. Be that as it may, on the field, the previous Gators beneficiary did all that he could to indicate why he's justified regardless of the hazard.

Other than posting a 4.41-second 40 (tied for third among recipients), Callaway demonstrated that he unquestionably hasn't been slacking on his getting system:

It was an indication of why Jim McElwain gave Callaway innumerable opportunities to remain on the field. Without the off-field issues, Callaway is a bolt to fall off the board on Day 2. With them, he could at present be a Day 2-fellow after what he did at the Combine, however that'll take some genuine offering on his part.

Callaway did his best to offer everybody Friday that he's turned the corner. He said all the correct things and assumed full liability for the Mastercard extortion suspension that he said got McElwain let go. That straightforwardness will be key for Callaway all through gatherings and his professional day.

Had Callaway appeared to Indianapolis rusty and proud, he may have been wiped off numerous draft sheets. Rather, Callaway presumably put himself on a couple. That is a win.

Washouts
1. Kamryn Pettway, Auburn RB

Pettway came into the Combine with a lot of inquiries after his tragic 2017 season. Wellbeing and off-field issues kept him from forming into the supplement to Kerryon Johnson that numerous accepted he would be. The Combine was a shot for Pettway to ascend some draft sheets and demonstrate that he was in the best state of his life.

That turned out poorly well.

Pettway ran a 4.74 40-yard dash, which was the third-most exceedingly terrible among running backs. Of course, he's a greater back at 233 pounds, yet it presumably didn't help that Saquon Barkley ran a 4.40 at … 233 pounds. No one was contrasting Pettway's join with Barkley's, however.

He had a normal vertical (33 inches), a feeble expansive hop (116 inches) and he didn't take an interest in the 20-yard carry or the 60-yard carry. There was nothing about Pettway's exercise that was especially noteworthy, or if nothing else nothing that made a NFL general director feel that he's justified regardless of a Day 2 flier.

Without the assistance of good tape from his last school season, Pettway expected to knock some people's socks off in Indy. Rather, he most likely kept those heads looking somewhere else.

2. Darrel Williams, LSU RB

I would prefer not to get excessively got up to speed in the 40-yard dash on the grounds that there are different manners by which a prospect can hurt his draft stock. Getting hurt, "loafing" like Orlando Brown was blamed for doing or having awful meetings would all be able to end a draft stock dead in its tracks.

In any case, there are sure position bunches that simply don't have that edge for mistake. Running back is one of them. Also, lamentably for Williams, he simply had one of those exhibitions.

A terrible begin prompted a 4.72-second 40, which scarcely beat Danny Etling. No one anticipated that Williams would run a 4.3 at 225 pounds, yet that still shouldn't occur.

He realizes that:

Bad start didn’t run what I was pose to run but I’ll bounce back hard for pro day believe that https://t.co/SoxFozN8vz

— darrel williams (@darrelwilliams_) March 2, 2018

Reinforcement running backs need to demonstrate a burst to emerge. The dangerousness simply wasn't there from Williams. He tied for the most exceedingly awful wide bounce among running backs, and his vertical was close to the base of the pack.

What's the uplifting news for Williams? As he stated, he knows he needs to skip back at his genius day.

3. Davin Bellamy, Georgia LB

On the off chance that you don't have the foggiest idea about Bellamy's pre-draft process story, lower yourself. No, truly. So fortunately Bellamy has that cool new trademarked expression, however the terrible news was that he just completed one penetrate at the consolidate in light of a revealed hamstring damage. It was the seat press … and he was last among edge rushers with 15 reps. That was 8 less than Tennessee punter Trevor Daniel.

The issue was that while Bellamy made some hotshot plays in tremendous minutes, he's not the most unstable player and 15 seat squeeze reps doesn't recommend that he's the most grounded, either. You can't calm questions as a Day 3 prospect in the event that you don't experience the drills.

It felt like Bellamy just punted on the end of the week and chose to hold up until the master day. Given how late Georgia played into the postseason, that is not such an insane thing by any means, but rather he didn't help himself throughout the end of the week by being for all intents and purposes a non-member. Presently, it'll all come down to the expert day.

Meanwhile Bellamy will, obviously, lower himself.
