2019 NFL Draft: 10 players trending up after NFL Combine

With the 2019 NFL Combine in the books, we examine 10 players who impressed enough in Indianapolis to improve their NFL Draft stock.

The NFL Combine is now in the rearview mirror as we press forward to April’s NFL Draft. A lot can still change between now and the draft, but the combine began narrowing down the field of the draft’s top prospects.

This draft class is extremely loaded, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Edge rushers and defensive tackles dominate the list of top prospects, and with teams reaching for need based picks there’s going to be several extremely talented defensive line prospects who fall toward the end of the first day or into the early part of the second round.

The combine serves as a gigantic job interview for prospects as their evaluation begins as soon as they step off the bus in Indianapolis. Plenty of players shined at Lucas Oil Stadium while others faltered, leaving their Pro Day as their last opportunity to impress NFL scouts with on-field workouts to hopefully recover their draft stock.

The list of freaks at this year’s event was long, with several players posting eye-popping numbers relative to their size. Players seem to get bigger and faster every year, and this class of defensive line prospects in particular put on a show at the combine.

All it takes is one team to fall in love with you in the pre-draft process to make a dream come true, but the top performers at the combine have a bevy of interested suitors who will be fighting for the right to select them.

This draft class is strong, and that fact was only further solidified in Indianapolis. While there were winners and losers from the week of interviews and workouts, we’re going to focus on the biggest winners.

Here’s 10 prospects who improved their draft stock at the combine:
