Highlights from defensive linemen and linebackers at the NFL Combine

Saturday at the NFL Combine was all about defense as the defensive linemen and linebackers spoke to the media and did the bench press. Some of the highlights were Shaquem Griffin talking about what he has to prove and doing 20 reps on the bench press, John Atkins explaining how he’s not related to Geno Atkins and Tremaine Edmunds discussing going through the Combine process with his brother Terrell.

Atkins, a defensive tackle out of Georgia; Texas A&M DT Zay Henderson; Ohio State DE Sam Hubbard and Delaware DT Bilal Nichols all said they met with the Bengals in some form while at the Combine.
