2019 NFL Draft: 3 Offensive lineman on the rise after NFL Combine
By Cory Kinnan
One day down, two to go. The offensive lineman are done and a few of them will see their stock rise in the NFL draft after their Combine performance.
Day one of testing at the NFL Scouting Combine is complete, and the offensive linemen were the first to take the field. While first rounder projected players such as Jonah Williams, Yodny Cajuste, Dalton Risner and Cody Ford continued to solidify their stock as a Thursday night pick, there were a number of big bodies who put their name on a map.
Small school prospects such as Tytus Howard and Oli Udo clearly made themselves notable, while others went even further in increasing their draft stock. In an offensive lineman heavy class, demand may be even higher for those that went to work in Indianapolis. Showing great footwork, hip flexibility, and lateral movement, five players stood out amongst the rest.
While most of the players on this list come from power-five conferences, their names have flown under the radar thus far in the pre-draft process, and are ready for their names to become more widely recognized. While few on this list will hear their names called in the first round, some may see their names jump from day-two to the first, or from day-three into the second or third round.
