A favorite among many coming into the scouting combine, Lamp lived up to every bit of the hype.

The most common game that scouts refer to when mentioning Lamp is his impressive performance against the dominant Alabama front-seven. Only surrendering one QB pressure, that is impressive considering he was facing a team full of early-round NFL talent.

What teams wanted to see from Lamp is how agile, and smooth he really was. The former Western Kentucky offensive lineman was not only the most impressive lineman of the day, but he arguably was the best overall prospect of the entire day.

Running a sub-5.00 40-yard dash and showing the strength to record 34 reps on the bench press, he cemented himself as a first-round pick.
