ON LOCATION: INSIDE THE NFL SCOUTING COMBINE

All Access Football is on location for the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Tune-in below for a recap of the first day of testing, as Kate Carpenter and Brian Baldinger break down the top defensive linemen and linebackers from the first day of on-field workouts, plus a preview of the tight end group scheduled to perform on Friday.

*NFL Scouting Combine: Los Angeles Rams Win 8th Annual ITL Best Draft Award.

COMBINE TIME: JAMES PEARCE JR. WOWS IN INDY

Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. showed off his elite athleticism and speed (4.47 in the forty-yard dash), along with tremendous change of direction movement skills during positional drills. While there will still be some questions about overall play strength, Pearce Jr. owns unlimited potential and is trending towards becoming a top ten overall selection in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.

*NFL Combine: When asked about QB Russell Wilson at the combine, Raiders HC Pete Carroll stated, ‘you’d be surprised how much we stay in contact.’

COMBINE TIME: DERRICK HARMON HAS BIG MAN HOPS

Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon has insane athleticism! It should be illegal for someone this big, to be so fluid and smooth, lock this man in for round one!

*Baldy’s Breakdown: Kelvin Banks of Texas hasn’t missed a start at LT since his sophomore year of HS! Find out what makes the Longhorns prospect so special.

COMBINE TIME: DARIUS ALEXANDER ASCENDS

Toledo football stand up! After a highly impressive performance at the Senior Bowl, defensive tackle Darius Alexander carried his momentum over to Indy with another outstanding performance, displaying great quickness and smooth change of direction skills. He’ll be a 25-year old rookie but NFL teams don’t seem to mind.

*NFL Combine: Get to know new baby-face GM James Gladstone of the Jacksonville Jaguars, as he proclaims that we have yet to see the best of Trevor Lawrence.

COMBINE TIME: CJ WEST MOVING NORTH UP BOARDS

One of the fast risers of the draft is CJ west of Indiana. After a magical run for the Hoosiers this past season, West was one of the top performers at the East-West Shrine Bowl. He proved it was no fluke with his combine drills, demonstrating excellent get-off and power, while looking real fluid running the forty-yard dash.

*Baldy’s Breakdown: Lots of discussion surrounding the draft status of LSU OL Will Campbell. Is he a tackle or guard? Baldy breaks it down with a deep dive look.
