Every year, there are players who wow talent evaluators at the combine with their elite athletic abilities, and this year should be no different.

So I would like to draw your attention to 10 players to whom you should pay special attention in Indianapolis this weekend:

10) Terrance Taylor-DT/Michigan/ht. 6’0/ wt. 308 

Training with Michigan strength and conditioning coach Mike Barwis should allow Taylor to shine. Has very good top end speed for a DT. Great strength should give him 30+ reps on bench press.

9) Alex Mack-C/Cal/ht. 6’4/wt. 316

Word at the Senior Bowl was that he has a rock solid body. Could be a top bench presser.

8 ) Darrius Heyward-Bey-WR/Maryland/ht. 6’3/wt. 206

Incredible straight-line speed. Will have one of the fastest 40 times.

7) Jason Smith-OT/Baylor/ht. 6’5/wt. 305

Should be great in the positional drills. He has terrific feet, and is very agile.

6) Jarron Gilbert- DT/San Jose State/ht. 6’6/wt. 290

Small school prospect that is extraordinarily strong. I want him on my team!

5) Evander Hood-DT/Missouri/ht. 6’4/wt. 295

One of my favorites.  Expect him to put up good numbers all around. Scouts will love his intensity in position drills.

4) Percy Harvin-WR/Florida/ht. 5’11/wt. 195

Not many guys his size can bench press 400 lbs and run a sub 4.40 forty yard dash.

3) Vontae Davis-CB/Illinois/ht. 6’0/wt. 203

Needs a great showing to offset his conduct problems during the season. Could be the fastest cornerback at the event.

2) Aaron Curry-OLB/Wake Forest/ht. 6’3/wt. 247

Super strong, and rumor has it that he is faster than teammate Alphonso Smith (Cornerback). Will hold his place among the top 5 players in this draft with a strong showing.

1) Brian Orakpo- DE/Texas/ht. 6’4/wt. 260

I expect numbers similar to Vernon Gholston last year. Orakpo might help himself more than any player in the combine.  An absolute beast. Check out the video on him here.
