This time of the year in the NFL means one thing, the NFL Scouting Combine.
This year 328 of the very best college football players in the nation have descended upon Indianapolis to show NFL personnel evaluators their skill sets and their smarts.
For some of these players, their performance here will make the difference in being drafted or not. For others, it will help or hurt the position they get drafted. This is something that often makes a big difference in the payday for their first NFL contract. Don't believe it? Ask Brady Quinn......
These players will be poked, prodded and measured both physically and mentally. The players come in all shapes and sizes ranging from 354-lbs Defensive Tackle Terrence Cody, Alabama to 149-lbs Wide Receiver Brandon Banks, Kansas State.
While Banks is not only the lightest player, he is smallest in stature too standing only 5' 7". On the other side of the spectrum are the two tallest players are Offensive Lineman Sam Young, Notre Dame and Jared Veldheer, Hillsdale who both stand 6' 8".
Today is the final day of the NFL Combine and it is reserved for what is generally considered to be fastest group of participants, the defensive backs.
Below you will find a list of all the participants by position. CLICK ON THE GRAPHIC to see how each individual player performed.

If you haven't voted in our polls on the site yet please do so. We are trying to get a feel for how our readers are looking at Football so we can write about things they want to hear. The poll questions are:
"Do you think the NCAA should have a Playoff to determine the National Champion rather than the BCS / Bowl System?"
and
"Should the NFL adopt the NCAA method of Overtime or continue to flip a coin for possession and have sudden death?"
Have a Fantasy Football or Rotisserie baseball question? Want to know who to pick up, who to activate and who the hot prospects are? Ask Dr. Roto. Let Dr. Roto guide your team to a league championship.
