The 2014 NFL Combine is nigh. Prospects are in Indianapolis gearing up for the event, which will commence with measurements, interviews and exams before moving on to position drills beginning Saturday.
This year, the quarterbacks are the star attraction. If you have been following along with SB Nation's weekly mock drafts, you'd know that Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, UCF's Blake Bortles and Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel have all been mentioned as No. 1 overall picks at some point. The likes of Derek Carr and Tajh Boyd are also competing to be considered a first-round selection for a needy franchise. All five quarterbacks will be looking to top one another and earn the bigger contract that comes with an earlier pick.
Besides the signal-callers, there will be plenty of physical freaks to gawk at. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney had an NFL-ready body out of high school, and will be looking to prove he is the most explosive player in his position group, if not he entire draft. The 40-yard dash is annually one of the most anticipated events at the combine, and among the prospects looking to take the "fastest man" title is Oregon running back De'Anthony Thomas, who stands to gain a lot after a somewhat disappointing 2013 season.
The combine won't be the end-all, be-all for any NFL prospect. There are still Pro Days and many private workouts to come. The combine is the last chance for scouts to see players under the pressure of competition before draft day, however, and the last time college fans will be able to root for former players on live television before the NFL sinks its claws in.
