NFL Combine Day Two Electric Boogaloo!
The first day of action saw some incredible performances. It just seems like defensive linemen are getting freakier and freakier as athletes with each passing year. It is personally one of my favorite nights, because of the absolute absurdity in some of the numbers.
Not to be outdone by their defensive linemen counterparts, the defensive backs put on quite a show as well on the second day of drills in Indianapolis. With how well these players were testing, I’m not sure if running a fast time is even the way to stand out anymore. That is unless you take it to another level like a certain Michigan defensive back.
In today’s world, you truly need to show yourself to be a well rounded elite athlete to turn some heads, or you have to unfortunately be on the opposite end of the spectrum. Running a slower time will make you stick out like a sore thumb in the sort of weeding out process that has become the NFL Combine for defensive back prospects.
No disrespect to those players, but they are not who we are here to talk about today. This is about the superhuman feats, the elite of the elites. These are the top Big Ten performers from day two of the NFL Combine.

Away we go!
DJ Turner, Safety Michigan

Michigan safety DJ Turner quite nearly could have completed a perfect combine had he just measured slightly bigger. While he’s a tad bit undersized at 5-foot-11, 178 pounds, that doesn’t really matter when the man runs a 4.26 40-yard dash. That’s right. A 4.26. Oh yeah, he also jumped a fantastic 10’11” broad jump. Just a pure athlete.
