NFL Combine Standouts: DBs, TEs Shine

Indiana cornerback D'Angelo Ponds made headlines with a remarkable 43.5-inch vertical jump, the sixth-best mark for a corner since 1999. Washington's Tacario Davis impressed with his prototypical Cover 3 size and athleticism.

The defensive back class is led by Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, a projected first-round pick. At tight end, Oregon's Kenyon Sadiq emerged as the top prospect, while Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers also had a strong performance. Several top cornerbacks sat out of Friday's drills, potentially affecting the top 50 draft order.
