The NFL Scouting Combine has become a key component of the draft process over the past few decades.
Hundreds of top college football prospects participate in the annual talent showcase each year in hopes of winning the attention of NFL scouts and talent evaluators by excelling in the 40-yard dash, bench press (225-pound repetitions), vertical jump, broad jump, three-cone drill, 20-yard shuttle run and 60-yard shuttle run.
Patrick Mahomes, Johnny Manziel, Baker Mayfield, Cam Newton and Tim Tebow are a few prominent quarterbacks that performed at the combine in recent years, although a handful of prospects skip the combine each year.
With that in mind, Draft Wire revisits the combine statistics of 17 notable quarterback prospects in recent years. Did their efforts help or hurt their draft stock? You be the judge.
