The 2014 NFL Scouting Combine is here, and we'll be keeping you posted on all of the player's measurements. Next up are the linebackers.
The top prospect actually comes from a non-BCS conference, but if you've watched Buffalo's Khalil Mack, you'd realize there's not a school in the nation he wouldn't have started at. Mack measured 6-foot-2 1/2 and 251 pounds at the weigh-in, which is pretty bulky for a 3-4 outside linebacker, his projected NFL position. There is some speculation Mack could play some defensive end in a 4-3 scheme with those kind of measurables.
Regardless, the NFL Network's Mike Mayock said that he would take Mack with the first overall pick in the draft.
"He's one of the best two or three players in this draft," Mayock said. "I'm going to tell you right now, I'd take him with the first pick.Khalil Mack can play anywhere in the front. If you put the tape on against Ohio State, he dominates Ohio State like nobody I've ever seen dominate them.
He's explosive off the edge, he's tough, he's twitchy, he's got a little edge about him. When I watch him on tape I feel like he's pissed off at the world, and I like that. Then you put on a tape, I think it was Kent State, and he drops into coverage like a safety, reads the quarterback's eyes, undercuts a route, one-handed interception."
Here are the measurements for the rest of the backers:
NOTE: Height is listed using the scout method for height, IE 6024. The first numbers is feet (6 = 6 feet). The next number is full inches with a leading zero (02, so 6'2") and the final number is an eighth of an inch. This means someone listed at 6024 would be 6'2" and 1/2".
