Over the course of six days, 337 prospects went through the NFL Scouting Combine gauntlet, and a handful of them rose above the rest of the pack.
Kyler Murray, Nick Bosa, and Quinnen Williams were just a few names that headlined the event, but by the end of the week several under-the-radar players caught the attention of the national media. Entering the Combine, the focus was on the defensive line group, considering this a defense-heavy draft class; however, it was the wide receivers that took the event by storm.
Ole Miss wide receiver D.K. Metcalf was the talk of Indianapolis, but Massachusetts wideout Andy Isabella surprised a lot of people as well.
Let's take a look at the top five performers from the 40-yard dash, bench press, vertical jump, and broad jump:

Even though they might not have been in the top five, here are some notable performers:
WR, D.K. Metcalf, Ole Miss – Ran a 4.33 in the 40-yard dash, sixth among all participants, and totaled 27 reps on bench press.
DL, Quinnen Williams, Alabama – Regarded as a top-five pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Williams was a top performer all week at the Combine. The athletic big man ran a 4.83, the fastest time for a player over 300 pounds in seven years.
DL, Rashan Gary, Michigan – Another player expected to go early in the first round, Gary led all defensive linemen in the 40-yard dash with a blazing speed of 4.58.
TE, Noah Fant, Iowa – Fant's teammate T.J. Hockenson – also a tight end – was the consensus best tight end in this class, but after an impressive performance at the Combine, Fant has analysts reconsidering. Fant ran a 4.5 40-yard dash, the fastest in the group, had the highest vertical jump (39.5"), and was the top performer in the three-cone drill.
