Sam Darnold - QB - Trojans

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports USC QB Sam Darnold will not throwing during the NFL Scouting Combine.

Darnold "will focus on athletic testing and interviews instead," per Schefter. As of now the other top names, like Josh Rosen, Baker Mayfield, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are expected to throw. In fact, Mayfield and Allen completed a full week of Senior Bowl practice already. On the scale of significance, pro day workouts (Danrold's is on March 21) seem to be more important than throwing in Indianapolis, but it is always nice to see every quarterback throw on the same field. Quarterbacks work out on Saturday.

Per Matt Schneidman:

The coin toss will be at 9:30am PST on Friday. Rod Woodson is doing the flip at the combine by the weight bench. Unknown if it will be televised.

They've had video of it on NFL Network a couple of times but I don't know if it's ever been shown LIVE. It's possible but I don't actually remember it being live. What I do remember is them tossing to video of it with an anchor talking over it (Eisen?). The video lasts about 8 seconds. Representatives walk in and they all shake hands. Followed by them seeing what the coin looks like, then one team calls it in the air and that's it. A congratulatory word to the "winning" team and off both sides go 2 minutes later. Nothing too much more than that. They've never made it out to be this big segment thing as far as I can remember.

Here's video of last year's flip:

Watch on YouTube

That's not the video they ended up airing on TV but it's close. You can kind of see what TV would edit out though.

Doesn't want people to see how overrated he is.

Gonna be yet another in an unbroken line of USC busts.

Quenton Nelson - G - Fighting Irish

Notre Dame G Quenton Nelson arrived at the NFL Combine at 6-foot-5 and 325 pounds.

Perhaps most impressively, Nelson possesses offensive tackle length, with 33 3/4-inch arms, with a wingspan of 82 5/8 inches and hands that measured 10 3/8 inches. Nelson might be the cleanest prospect in the draft, and these measurements only back up that sentiment.

Will Hernandez - G - Miners

UTEP G Will Hernandez arrived at the NFL Combine weighing 327 pounds, down 13 pounds from the Senior Bowl.

Assuming Hernandez is healthy and an illness or injury didn't cause the weight loss, dropping pounds is a common strategy for the NFL Combine. Simply put, a lighter body moves more quickly. Hernandez's playing weight could be closer to 340, as he produced a great week at the Senior Bowl.

Orlando Brown - T - Sooners

Oklahoma T Orlando Brown arrived at the NFL Combine at 6-foot-7 7/8-inches and 345 pounds.

Brown boasts 35-inch arms and a wingspan of 85 1/8-inches with 9 3/4-inch hands. As you can tell, Brown is a massive human being and has plenty of experience at left tackle. His NFL position is in question to some, as we've seen many automatically place him on the right side due to his lack of foot speed. But in reality, Brown will continue to face fast pass rushers on the right side, so his same difficulties could pop up there as on the left side. One of Brown's best traits is his size, as it takes a wide loop to get around him on an island.
