Drills at the 2024 NFL combine finished Sunday afternoon in Indianapolis, with the top offensive linemen in the 2024 NFL draft class showcasing their skills in front of all 32 teams. The defensive linemen and linebackers got things started Thursday, and defensive backs and tight ends followed on Friday. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs had their turn on Saturday.
Who ran well in the 40-yard dash? Who dominated in the rest of the on-field work? NFL draft experts Jordan Reid, Matt Miller and Field Yates recap all four days of the combine workouts, evaluating the top performances from every position, picking prospects who are rising (and potentially falling) and addressing notable under-the-radar showings. Let’s get into it with a breakdown of all the action at Lucas Oil Stadium.

DAY 4: OFFENSIVE LINEMEN
What’s your biggest takeaway from Sunday’s workouts?
Yates: In a league starving for quality offensive linemen, the 2024 draft feels like teams are hitting the jackpot. The top-end talent and depth are remarkable. We’ve felt a movement league-wide toward bigger, faster and stronger players at edge rusher, and it now seems like the offensive line following that lead. Notre Dame’s Joe Alt is the clear best offensive tackle in this class, but teams will have options with the next wave of prospects.

Tanor Bortolini, C, Wisconsin: At 6-foot-4 and 303 pounds, Bortolini has put together a strong pre-draft process. First, he had a good week of practice at the Senior Bowl. Then he came to Indy, ran a 4.94-second 40-yard dash and looked fluid in positional drills at the combine.
