Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons
Simmons may have had the best outing of any player at the Combine – and he didn't even touch the field during positional work. While he considers his position to simply be "defense," Simmons worked out with the linebackers on Day 3 and it's safe to say he dominated. Simmons lead the way for the linebackers with a blistering 4.39 forty, as well as a 39-inch vertical (t-3rd) and an 11' broad jump (2nd).
At 6'4" and 238 pounds, Simmons is fit to line up anywhere on the defense, from linebacker to safety, and even as an edge rusher in some packages.
Mississippi St. LB Willie Gay, Jr.
The only linebacker to compete with Simmons across the board was Mississippi State's Willie Gay Jr. With a 4.46 forty (2nd), 39.5-inch vertical (2nd) and jaw-dropping 11'4" broad jump (1st), Gay should have definitely earned a spot on every team's draft board. Prior to wowing teams in Indy, Gay was expected to be a Day 3 selection come April, but now his stock seems to be on the rise.
Utah DB Javelin K. Guidry
Not many people knew Guidry's name prior to Sunday at the Combine, but now everyone's talking about him. That's what a blazing 4.29 40-yard dash will do for you. Guidry's time was the best among all defensive backs, and second only to Ruggs. By adding 21 reps on the bench press (t-3rd), Guidry proved he has speed and strength. Before the Combine he was expected to be a late-round pick or maybe even a post-Draft free agent signing, but it's hard to ignore a 4.29.
