Today, it has been the quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers showing off their skills. These are highly coveted positions, and really the most entertaining part of watching the combine. There are a few players that I have been watching closely. Julio Jones from Alabama has made it impossible to not be impressed by; Titus Young, a wide receiver out of Boise State, was looking really good in his skills before what NFL Network called a leg cramp.
I was keeping an eye on quarterbacks as well since I do believe the Chiefs need to draft a backup quarterback this season. After being underwhelmed by Cam Newton (who I've never been interested in seeing in Kansas City anyway), I kept a close eye on Ricky Stanzi, since it's been projected that he will be a middle round guy. He looked decent in his skill tests, but a couple of other mid-round selection guys looked good as well. These were Christian Ponder from Florida State and T.J. Yates out of North Carolina.
If you haven't checked out the combine yet, I would recommend you turn on the NFL Network for a little bit. One of these guys might be wearing a Chiefs uniform next year, so it's cool seeing them perform here at the combine.
Well, I'm going to get back to watching these players. But before I leave you, check out these articles on the Chiefs that are about the combine and the upcoming draft.
