NFL Combine – Cornerbacks
As the NFL heads towards its annual Combine next week, the invitation list helps narrow the field on the top prospects in the country, both seniors and underclassmen. Over the next week we’ll preview and review each position.
There are two cornerbacks ranked among the top 10 players in the draft pool as the NFL heads towards the Combine in Indianapolis. Some consider LSU’s Patrick Peterson (above left) possibly the best player in this year’s class. Also ranked among the top 10 is Nebraska’s Prince Amukamara (above right).
Another group of four or five cornerbacks are considered lower first round possibilities. Eight of the 35 cornerbacks are out of the Big 12 Conference, including Missouri’s Kevin Rutland. Texas has three corners in the Combine workouts – Chykie Brown, Curtis Brown and Aaron Williams.
