Friday at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine marked the first set of players working out on the field, as the running backs and offensive linemen took the field.
Among the running backs, there were few particularly exciting sets of individual workouts. The overall times in the 40-yard dashes were fairly pedestrian for the group as a whole, with no players running faster than 4.40 and only two running 4.45 or less: Justice Hill of Oklahoma State (4.40) and Ryquell Armstead from Temple (4.45).
As an overall workout, Penn State’s Miles Sanders had arguably the best day overall. Sanders had a solid 4.49-second 40-yard dash in addition to 20 reps on the bench press. His explosion numbers were good as well, with a 36-inch vertical and 10-foot-4 broad jump, but his agility timing is where he really set himself out from the pack. Sanders was the only running back to run the 3-cone drill in less than seven seconds, posting a position-best 6.89-second time. He also had the third-best time in the short shuttle at 4.19 seconds.
A few other players with notable workouts included Hill, who added a 40-inch vertical and 10-foot-10 broad jump to his position-best 40 time, and Miami’s Travis Homer, who equaled Hill’s broad jump and was a half-inch short on the vertical. Homer also ran 4.48 in the 40 and had a 7.07-second 3-cone time.
Here are the full workout results from all the running backs at this year’s Combine.
