INDIANAPOLIS -- Cornerbacks and safeties were put through the gantlet on final day of drills at the NFL combine. Below we'll highlight six lower-ranked prospects who helped their stock the most with their testing results, while Todd McShay hits on the bigger names.
Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
Rank entering combine: No. 46 overall
Conley's arms measured 33 inches, which is extremely long for cornerbacks. Love that. He has good overall size, too (6-foot, 195). Yes, he needs to continue to get stronger (just 11 reps on the bench), but some of that is a product on his long arms. He also tested well above average for the position in the vertical (37 inches) and broad jumps (10 feet, 9 inches). Conley's technique is really clean on tape, and that showed up during drill work on Monday. He tracked and played the ball really well. Combine the on-field work and tape with his impressive 40-yard dash (4.44), and Conley should be moving up boards. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the CB sneak into the bottom of the first round.
