Harold Fannin Jr. didn’t flex the athleticism and pass-catching ability many assumed he would at the combine and might’ve slipped from his TE2 perch behind Penn State’s Tyler Warren at the position. Fannin didn’t look fluid during on-field drills and his 40-time of 4.71 could be a red flag. His jumps failed to rank amongst the elite, too. Fannin’s numbers last fall were impressive — 117 catches, 1,555 receiving yards, 10 touchdown — as the focal point of his team’s offense and there’s still a lot to like on film. His Pro Day performance and chance to improve on a few testing numbers will be important.

Any notions that Jahdae Barron would pass the interview process with superlatives, but perform average in individual testing were quickly nullified when the ex-Longhorns cornerback blazed a 4.40 time in the 40 — plenty fast for him given the expectation he would be slower. Not only did his time at the podium impress with a football IQ in another stratosphere, Barron’s on-field showing matched his production at Texas. Quarterback Quinn Ewers and wideout Matthew Golden were other Longhorns who helped their stock.

As a bevy of running backs posted in the mid-4.4s and a few under, Arizona State star Cam Skattebo was only able to showcase a 39.5-inch vertical jump and impressive broad jump at 10 feet, three inches. A hamstring injury forced Skattebo to the sideline for the 40-yard dash, various cone drills and individual on-field workouts. He’ll get an opportunity to impress at the Sun Devils’ Pro Day before the draft, but this mid-round prospect may have dropped a peg or two for the time being in the pecking order at the position.

The former Gamecocks star might’ve won the entire event in Indianapolis if there was an award given for that. There’s not a player on defense who participated in drills who answered any lingering questions more than Nick Emmanwori, whose jaw-dropping 43-inch vertical was 10 inches higher than Georgia safety Malaki Starks while his 4.38 was insane for his size at 6-3, 221 pounds. He has a linebacker build in the secondary with elite size and runs like a cornerback. There’s real potential that Emmanwori could be the first defensive back taken after he entered the combine with a late first, early second-round grade from most.

Despite 20 touchdowns over his final two seasons at Oregon, former Ducks wideout Tez Johnson needed to show more to warrant billing among this cycle’s top-tier options at wide receiver. Johnson was the smallest player at the combine at 5-9, 154 pounds and his 40 time of 4.51 was considerably slower than expected given his size. Johnson’s impressive showing at the Senior Bowl earlier this spring virtually guaranteed him a draft selection, but weighing in 11 pounds less than previously is a bit worrisome.

One of the more polarizing prospects entering the week as a former five-star prospect who only flashed at Texas A&M but was never consistently dominant, Shemar Stewart passed the eye test at the combine. There’s a good chance he locked up top 10 money after ranking in the 90th percentile or higher with a 40-inch vertical, a 10-foot-11 broad jump and a 4.60 time in the 40. He hovered in the 285-pound range with the Aggies, but weighed 267 this week. That’s a big plus

While former Texas teammate Matthew Golden blazed a 4.3 flat in the 40, Isaiah Bond failed to deliver on his promise of being one of the fastest players at the event. A day after predicting he would break the all-time speed record set by ex-Longhorns star Xavier Worthy in last year’s event, Bond clocked a 4.40 — fast, but not premiere-level quick. Bond was inconsistent and dealt with drops during his only season at Texas last fall after playing the two previous years under Nick Saban at Alabama.

Former Ohio State pass rusher Jack Sawyer lost his footing a couple times during on-field drills and decided not to run the 40-yard dash or perform any other individual testing workouts. Perhaps he’s protecting himself from below-average testing numbers and saving that effort for Ohio State’s Pro Day? His arms were among the smallest for edge rushers, but Sawyer did show enough at one point that he was asked by coaches to model how a drill is carried out for other prospects at the event. 

It was the kind of 40-yard dash performance that sparks first-round projections and Maxwell Hairston turned heads everywhere else, too. With his quick 4.29 burst, the former Wildcats star likely punched his Day 1 ticket with this showing in Indianapolis. Hairston’s 39.5-inch vertical was plenty and several times he showed precise footwork and cutting ability during on-field drills. As the fastest cornerback at the combine this year, Hairson greatly improved his stock.
