For most prospective NFL players, the last official step before the draft is the NFL Scouting Combine, which began Tuesday and will continue through Monday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The Combine, which features 40-yard dashes, bench presses, vertical jumps, Wonderlic tests and more, gives NFL coaching staffs the opportunity to evaluate players in a formal setting on their athletic and cognitive abilities.

*Checks* Yep, Isaiah Wynn is still a good player. Mugs No. 41 here. Playing with a proper base allows him to generate force while remaining balanced, giving him the ability to strain and drive the defender back. pic.twitter.com/7dkLMyEr2u
