The offensive portion of the 2019 NFL Combine has come and gone just like that. That said, here are the winners and losers from every offensive position from this year’s testing.<\/p>\n
Dwayne Haskins<\/strong><\/a> showed up in Indy to cement himself as the top quarterback in the draft class, and he did just that. His 5.04 40-yard dash was the slowest of any quarterback to participate, and that\u2019s a good thing. The athleticism wasn\u2019t a concern for Haskins. He stood out in the drills that mattered, throwing darts to the wide receivers and showing off a strong arm. A strong performance in the throwing drills should set Haskins apart from the pack heading into Pro Days.<\/p>\n A lot of folks are calling Kyler Murray<\/strong><\/a> a winner. Not here. Sure, he measured in at a bigger size than expected (5\u201910\u201d, 207 pounds), but that is not his playing weight. He opted not to participate in any drills, therefore he wasn\u2019t able to prove he could play at that weight. In all likelihood, Murray added weight to appear bigger heading into the combine while planning to throw at his Pro Day instead. Not competing head-to-head with Haskins could wind up costly in April.<\/p>\n Alex Barnes<\/strong><\/a> stole the show in Indianapolis. With all the talk focused on the big-name backs, Barnes was able to show up and gain some respect. He led all backs with 34 reps on the bench press and finished third in the vertical jump. He also finished in the top five in the broad jump (fifth), three-cone drill (second), and twenty-yard shuttle (first). Barnes displayed a wide array of talent, with strength, agility, and decent speed in a relatively slow running back class. He also showed scouts his soft hands as a receiver.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillyM_91\/status\/1101572412993425409<\/p>\n Here is a taste of the power Barnes brings:<\/p>\n Watches Alex Barnes one time pic.twitter.com\/UBgQNbRPIw<\/a><\/p>\n — Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) March 2, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nLoser: Kyler Murray, QB, Oklahoma<\/h2>\n
