32 things we learned from the 2019 NFL scouting combine

CLOSE What I'm Hearing: NFL Insider Jarrett Bell dishes on the top two quarterbacks, where they may land and the one guy that people are calling the next "Megatron." USA TODAY

1b. That said, other Oklahoma players here clearly have strong affinities for both Mayfield and Murray, even if one likes to talk trash and dance in the locker room and the other one is reserved. We'll let you figure out which is which. 5. We saw why to some degree Sunday watching the blazing 40-yard times turned in by Michigan DE Rashan Gary and Mississippi State's Montez Sweat, whose 4.41 established a modern combine record for defensive linemen.6. Quarterbacks will forever be most prized in the NFL, but it seems increasingly that pass rushers — especially those on the interior — are atop the next tier of any GM's wish list.

9. Raiders coach Jon Gruden was asked what he looks for in pass rushers. He responded: “Production," the ability to win one-on-one matchups, line up anywhere and defend the run, among other attributes. 12a. And those Eli Manning rumors? Giants coach Pat Shurmur said he fully expects the two-time Super Bowl MVP back. Gettleman was less definitive, but that's Gettleman.13. That doesn't mean Big Blue will be taking Vanderbilt QB Kyle Shurmur sixth overall, but pretty cool that Pat Shurmur got to attend a combine as a head coach in which his son participated as a prospect. "I’m extremely proud of him," Pat Shurmur said of Kyle. "He graduated in three and a half years.

He's not for adding judgment calls like pass interference but would like to see an amendment that allows replay to protect defenseless players who are illegally hit.17. Almost time to officially give the Legion of Boom "R.I.P." status after Carroll said of FS Earl Thomas' impending free agency, it's "a great opportunity for Earl.

20. Plenty of talk the last few months about Houston DT Ed Oliver's sideline confrontation with former head coach Major Applewhite. But Oliver is a delightful guy in person, telling reporters that he almost didn't get a chance to try and become Aaron Donald 2.0 after his horse Oreo "tried to kill me." 21. So great having Bruce Arians back on an NFL sideline.
