LSU star wideout Malik Nabors did not participate, so no official measurements were taken. Meanwhile, other elite wideouts Marvin Harrison Jr. and Roma Odunze were measured. Bucking tradition continues to be a theme among the best players at the NFL Scouting Combine.
The top three QBs, Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels, are not pitching today. As a result, the NFL is being forced to focus on these players.

It's a shame.
Georgia tight end Brock Bowers does not participate in vertical or long jump practice, instead appearing on the field in a hoodie and shorts. He doesn't appear to be participating in the 40-yard dash.
Caleb Williams isn't pitching heading into the NFL Scouting Combine, but another decision he made could tell us more about his future, and perhaps the entire draft cycle. Maybe it will help.
