2018 NFL Combine: Saquon Barkley shines and other winners and losers from Day 1
Losers
The first pair of losers were victims of bad injury luck. Ohio State center Billy Price, regarded as one of the best offensive line prospects in the 2018 class, tore his pectoral muscle during the bench press. The severity of the injury hasn’t been confirmed, but there is hope that he’ll be available for the start of training camp. The injury could cost him a first round pick.
Also a victim of injury, former USC running back Ronald Jones. Jones tweaked his hamstring midway through the 40-yard dash. The result was an unofficial time of 4.66 seconds and the end of his combine participation.
The biggest loser, however, can’t use injury as an excuse. Former Oklahoma offensive tackle Orlando Brown flopped at every event he participated in on Friday. He produced 14 reps on the bench and ran an incredibly slow 5.85 second 40 yard dash. Then, as if the results were enough negative attention, Brown was called out by coaches for not giving enough effort during the drills.
