NFL Draft: 5 Most Eye-Catching Prospects

3. OT Terron Armstead Arkansas Pine-Bluff

Running a 4.71 40 yard dash at the combine comes pretty often, but when a 306 pound offensive lineman does it, well that's just unheard of. Terron Armstead showed off his incredible athleticism at the combine that made NFL general managers take a closer look at him. At the Senior Bowl coaches took notice of how quick Armstead's feet were. He has the quickness of a Tight End and uses it to beat pass rushers to the edge. He even possess natural strength when he maxed out at 31 reps at 225 lbs. There are some concerns that his lower body strength isn't up to par since he can get bull rushed sometimes, but a good off season workout program will solve that. the level of competition is a major concern as well since he never went up against elite college pass rushers while at Arkansas Pine-Bluff. However, with the technique, speed, quickness and strength Armstead has, he can be a day 1 starter at right tackle for his new team.
