2023 NFL Combine winners and losers: Anthony Richardson, Darnell Washington rise, Bryce Young sinks by sitting


NFL Draft prospects are now through the college all-star games and combine, meaning that pro days, private workouts and meetings are all that is left before commissioner Roger Goodell calls the first name from a stage in Kansas City on April 27.
