No, the Combine isn’t ever yet. Yes, we can still dish out some winners and losers from the weekend that was.

There were blistering 40-times, impressive interviews and solid positional work efforts. There were disappointing 40-times, non-40 times and head-scratching efforts.

Then there was Shaquem Griffin. Goodness, what an effort it was from the former UCF star. His 4.38-second 40-yard dash and 20 bench press reps were the stuff out of a movie. He, however, never got the chance to be an SEC star because he didn’t get a Power 5 scholarship offer. And ironically enough, he didn’t even get an initial Combine invite. He was the unquestioned winner of the weekend.

But these guys were the SEC’s winners and losers from the first 3 days of the Combine:

Winners

1. Bo Scarbrough, Alabama RB

Nobody in this field intrigued me more than Scarbrough. Nobody. I was curious if we were going to see the freakish abilities that the former Alabama back displayed at the end of the 2016 season, or if he was going to be the stiff, limited back we saw throughout 2017.

It felt like the former.

Yes, Scarbrough only had 14 bench press reps, but he passed every other test with flying colors. Posting a 4.52-second 40-yard dash for a 228-pound back was impressive, as was his running back-best broad jump of 10-9 and his 40-inch vertical (second among running backs) was key, too.

Scarbrough’s explosiveness was a major question mark coming into the weekend. There are still questions about his durability and if he can ever develop into a 3-down back, but Scarbrough definitely didn’t do anything in Indianapolis to fuel those concerns. He caught the eye of Todd McShay, and in all likelihood, he moved past the sixth-round projection that some had for him.

Oh, and he won the hearts of Alabama fans one more time by saying he doesn’t think that God is an Auburn fan. That’s a winning weekend if you ask me.

2. D.J. Chark, LSU WR

I could have easily gone with Christian Kirk here, but I went with Chark and here’s why.

OK, so Chark isn’t going to go in the top 7, but he made a strong case to be one of the first few receivers off the board. Setting the pace with a 4.34-second 40 certainly turned some heads, and it could be enough to get Chark into the first-round conversation.

The film is going to work in Chark’s favor because without a true deep-threat quarterback, he still managed to put up solid numbers (874 receiving yards) as a junior. A guy who can stretch the field vertically and horizontally is an asset to an offense whether he makes a bunch of plays or not. Oh, and he plays special teams. That’s an immediate impact guy.

What Chark did in Indianapolis was show that his straight-line speed matches the film, and that if he’s in the right system, he should be able take the top off plenty of NFL defenses.

In a draft that’s not loaded with top-end receivers, Chark made a big-time statement.

3. Antonio Callaway, Florida WR

Callaway’s spot on this list is debatable because to truly improve his stock, it’s all about off-field issues. But on the field, the former Gators receiver did everything he could to show why he’s worth the risk.

Besides posting a 4.41-second 40 (tied for third among receivers), Callaway showed that he definitely hasn’t been slacking on his receiving technique:

It was a reminder of why Jim McElwain gave Callaway countless chances to stay on the field. Without the off-field issues, Callaway is a lock to come off the board on Day 2. With them, he could still be a Day 2-guy after what he did at the Combine, but that’ll take some serious selling on his part.

Callaway did his best to sell everyone Friday that he’s turned the corner. He said all the right things and took full responsibility for the credit card fraud suspension that he said got McElwain fired. That transparency will be key for Callaway throughout meetings and his pro day.

Had Callaway showed up to Indianapolis out of shape and unapologetic, he might have been wiped off many draft boards. Instead, Callaway probably put himself on a few. That’s a win.

Losers

1. Kamryn Pettway, Auburn RB

Pettway came into the Combine with plenty of questions after his disastrous 2017 season. Health and off-field issues prevented him from developing into the complement to Kerryon Johnson that many assumed he would be. The Combine was a chance for Pettway to rise up some draft boards and show that he was in the best shape of his life.

That didn’t go so well.

Pettway ran a 4.74 40-yard dash, which was the third-worst among tailbacks. Sure, he’s a bigger back at 233 pounds, but it probably didn’t help that Saquon Barkley ran a 4.40 at … 233 pounds. Nobody was comparing Pettway’s combine to Barkley’s, though.

He had an average vertical (33 inches), a weak broad jump (116 inches) and he didn’t participate in the 20-yard shuttle or the 60-yard shuttle. There was nothing about Pettway’s workout that was particularly impressive, or at least nothing that made an NFL general manager think that he’s worth a Day 2 flier.

Without the help of good tape from his final college season, Pettway needed to turn heads in Indy. Instead, he probably kept those heads looking elsewhere.

2. Darrel Williams, LSU RB

I don’t want to get too caught up in the 40-yard dash because there are other ways in which a prospect can hurt his draft stock. Getting hurt, “loafing” like Orlando Brown was accused of doing or having bad interviews can all halt a draft stock dead in its tracks.

But there are certain position groups that just don’t have that margin for error. Running back is one of them. And unfortunately for Williams, he just had one of those performances.

A bad start led to a 4.72-second 40, which barely beat Danny Etling. Nobody expected Williams to run a 4.3 at 225 pounds, but that still shouldn’t happen.

He knows that:

Backup running backs have to show a burst to stand out. The explosiveness just wasn’t there from Williams. He tied for the worst broad jump among running backs, and his vertical was near the bottom of the bunch.

What’s the good news for Williams? As he said, he knows he has to bounce back at his pro day.

3. Davin Bellamy, Georgia LB

If you don’t know Bellamy’s pre-draft process story, humble yourself. No, really. So the good news is that Bellamy has that cool new trademarked phrase, but the bad news was that he only did one drill at the combine because of a reported hamstring injury. It was the bench press … and he was last among edge rushers with 15 reps. That was 8 fewer than Tennessee punter Trevor Daniel.

The problem was that while Bellamy made some big-time plays in huge moments, he’s not the most explosive player and 15 bench press reps doesn’t suggest that he’s the strongest, either. You can’t quiet doubts as a Day 3 prospect if you don’t go through the drills.

It felt like Bellamy just punted on the weekend and decided to wait until the pro day. Given how late Georgia played into the postseason, that’s not such a crazy thing at all, but he didn’t help himself over the weekend by being virtually a non-participant. Now, it’ll all come down to the pro day.

In the meantime Bellamy will, of course, humble himself.
