Offensive lineman John Urschel

Numbers: Urschel was at the combine, so he only ran the 40 and did position-specific drills Tuesday. He is 6-3, 313 pounds. His 40 at the combine was a 5.31, and he said he believed he improved that Tuesday.

Quote: “I wanted to show that I was athletic,” Urschel said. “I wanted to show that I could snap, under center and in the gun, which I did. And I wanted to take a little bit off my 40, and from what I heard I did. It was a good day.”

The skinny: Urschel played guard in college, but as mentioned in the quote, he’s being considered as a center. He couldn’t have hurt himself.

Status: Likely third- or fourth-round draft pick.
