The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine is history. Who are some prospects that should be moving down the Minnesota Vikings board after their performances?
The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine is over and Pro Days are next on the horizon for the Minnesota Vikings scouts and the rest of the league.
Before we close the book on the Combine, we need to go back and look at who performed well and maybe take a glimpse at some others who didn’t have their best performances down in Indianapolis.
There were lots of prospects who impressed and helped their stock by nailing the workouts and doing very well in the drills. Some of the standouts were Nolan Smith of Georgia, Jaxon Smith-Njigba of Ohio State, and cornerback Julius Brents of Kansas State. While those guys all knocked this job interview out of the park, there were some who did not.
Maybe these prospects measured in a bit smaller than expected, or maybe they just had an off day catching, running, and or throwing the football. These substandard performances aren’t the death knell of their draft stocks, but it surely doesn’t help things. Here are five prospects who should be moving down the Vikings‘ draft board after the Combine.
