Workout Warriors: Defensive Linemen

INDIANAPOLIS —Several top defensive line prospects took to the field at Lucas Oil Stadium for speed and agility drills Sunday morning in Indianapolis.

One player, however, seemed to stand out among the rest at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine.

Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett, who talked Saturday about **wanting to be the No. 1 overall pick** in April's draft, finished in the top five of every testing category.

Garrett, who had 32.5 sacks in three seasons, had the top vertical jump (41 inches), second-best bench press (33 reps) and broad jump (10 feet, 8 inches) and fifth-best 40-yard dash time in 4.64 seconds.

Temple's Haason Reddick, Jordan Willis of Kansas State, Stanford's Solomon Thomas and Derek Rivers of Youngstown State also performed well in front of all 32 NFL teams.
