NFL Scouting Combine: Julio Jones vs. A.J. Green

A.J. Green didn't perform badly at the Combine.

He posted a time of 4.48 in the 40-yard dash. And he will likely still be the first wide receiver chosen in the draft.

But Julio Jones outperformed Green, running times of 4.43 and 4.39 and getting a broad jump of above 11 feet.

This performance may not have put him above Green in the draft, but it should at least solidify him as a definite first-round pick.

Cam Newton Messes Up Wide Receiver Drill

Cam Newton was one of the quarterbacks throwing fade routes to wide receivers trying to prove themselves.

Newton's first throw shows that he sometimes has a difficult time following instructions.

On a fade route, a quarterback needs to throw to a wideout's outside shoulder. On his first throw, Newton threw to the wideout's inside shoulder.

Whether it was just a bad throw, a miscommunication or just due to uncalled-for arrogance, it was a moment that didn't make him look good to scouts (at least it wouldn't if I were a scout).
