NFL Combines 2019: The Most Outstanding Thursday's Measurements in Indianapolis | Bleacher's report

The start of the consolidation of the NFL's surveillance teams in 2019 on Thursday has resulted in one of the most significant developments of the April project.

Oklahoma quarterback, Kyler Murray, finally decided to settle, once and for all, all questions regarding his size and weight. The winner of the Heisman Trophy has registered 5 & ​​# 39; 10" 207 pounds and had 9½ "hands.

Before Scouting, questions persisted about Murray's size and what it might mean for his stock.

"Without talent, yes, he has what it takes to play in the NFL, but I've heard that he was very small, listed at 5" 10, which means that it could be 5 "8". There are not many players that small, "a scout from the area told B / R Matt Miller last month. "It's going to be a difficult study."

Murray being slightly taller than 5 "10", it would be reasonable to hear calling his name sooner than expected when the 2019 NFL project starts on April 25th.

Even before Murray measured, Miller was 21 years old Global No. 1 to the Arizona Cardinals in his latest simulation project.

Dwayne Haskins is Murray's lead defender for the quarterback of the class. The Ohio State star looked more like the traditional prototype that scouts have been looking for, although he's certainly not alone in this regard:

Any idea that smaller quarters can not succeed in the NFL should have been put to rest more than ten years ago when Drew Brees has become a superstar. Russell Wilson has contributed to the continuation of this evolution, from an unannounced election of the third round in 2012 to one of the best players in the league.

However, there are still NFL personalities who believe that quarter size is important. New York Giants General Manager Dave Gettleman told reporters on Wednesday that the NFL was a "The big game of the man."

The Giants could be on the market for a long-term answer to the quarterback while Eli Manning is expected to return in 2019. Haskins fits the prototype of Gettleman's "big man" if the team wishes to draft him, in their current place (No. 6 in total) or by evolving in a trade.

Getting out of the quarterbacks, having a wide receiver to launch facilitates the transition to the pros.

This year, it does not seem that the number of failures at the top is high. In Miller's latest Big Miller standings, Mississippi teammates A.J. Brown (# 15) and D.K. Metcalf (# 32) are the only first-round talents.

After all measurements were recorded, Hakeem Butler of Iowa State looks like a player who could progress if he also had a strong training session in Indianapolis:

The key for Butler will be at Saturday's practice on the field. Its speed will be of interest to teams looking for help with the job.

Talk to Tommy Birch of Monks Sign upNFL network analyst Daniel Jeremiah explained how Butler's size could actually play against him:

"He's a bit long, he walks a bit like a runner.When you get to the top of your course, can he come in and out?" It's hard. not see as many 6 foot 6 inch receivers in the NFL, it's hard to get in and out of your break at the waist, so he'll be able to post something to the combine. "

While Butler is at the top of the height spectrum for receivers, Marquise Brown of Oklahoma was at the bottom of the scale:

Brown was Murray's favorite target in 2018 with 75 passes for 1318 yards and 10 touchdowns. His small size could be alarming, but Miller compared him favorably to a Pro Bowler three times:

Another potential comparison for Brown is Taylor Gabriel, of Chicago. listed at 5 "and 8" and 165 pounds.

Since its inception in 2014, Gabriel has proven to be a valuable asset in the NFL. The 28-year-old has set a career high with 67 receptions and 688 yards for the Bears in 2018.

Brown does not have to worry about not having wallpaper. He is a talent at the edge of the first round, ranked No. 33 in the classification of the big table Miller.

Some physical activities took place on Thursday. Offensive linemen, running backs, kickers and special teams took part in the bench press.

Iosua Opeta of Weber State paved the way for offensive linemen by making 39 reps:

The big winner of the ironing press has turned out to be Alex Barnes of Kansas State, who has almost set a new back record with 34 reps and could have gotten one more:

Thomas Bohanon, Wake Forest Defender holds the position record with 36 reps in 2013. Saquon Barkley and Nick Chubb led all the riders in the race last year with 29 reps.

Barnes has a lot of pressure on him so that he lives up to the success of this duet. Barkley was named offensive rookie of the year after leading the league with 2,028 yards in the scrum for the New York Giants.

Chubb had a good rookie season for the Cleveland Browns with 996 rushing yards and 5.2 yards per run.

Barnes still has a lot of work to do since he is not among the top 15 half-offensives in Miller's big chart.

Charles Robinson, of Yahoo Sports, has passed the measurements of other notable players of this class:

This ends the first phase of the screening campaign. Field training starts on Friday for the backs, offensive linemen, kickers and special teams players. These will probably play a bigger role in moving players up and down than anything that has happened today, with one exception.

Murray's height and weight was the most significant development on Thursday. He passed brilliantly, potentially shaking the top of this project. The No. 1 seed Arizona Cardinals are only one year away from the Josh Rosen experience, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury was not present at the 2018 pick.

The NFL's off-season was already full of intrigue, including futures contracts for Antonio Brown and The & # 39; Veon Bell & Jon Gruden are trying to build the Oakland Raiders lineup with three first-round picks. The Cardinals potentially flirting with Murray is just one more element to add to the equation.
