Adetomiwa Adebawore is off the charts

Adebawore's 40 time was faster than fellow Big Ten alums Aidan Hutchinson and Nick Bosa. Before today, the fastest 40 time at the combine since 2000 by a player 280-plus pounds was 4.68 seconds by Aaron Donald. Adebawore is currently CBS Sports' 89th-ranked prospect, but he could be moving up the board with the performance he just rolled out.
Nolan Smith has speed and hops
Georgia's Nolan Smith showed the NFL that he can leap up with the best of them, boasting a 41.5" vertical. Smith, who has drawn comparisons to Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick, is CBS Sports' sixth-ranked edge rusher and the No. 36 overall prospect in this class. He also officially ran a blazing 4.30-second 40-yard dash, which is faster than both DeAndre Hopkins and Stefon Diggs when they were coming out. Oh, and it's also faster than Giants running back Saquon Barkley (4.40).
Will McDonald's 'flu game'
Iowa State edge rusher Will McDonald IV came down with a fever close to 104 degrees on Tuesday evening, according to NFL Media. Despite being sick and losing weight over the last 48 hours, he insisted on working out on Thursday. McDonald, who is CBS Sports' 11th-ranked edge rushing prospect, had an 11-foot broad jump -- which ranked second among all defensive linemen and linebackers.
