NFL Combine 2017: Defensive Backs Workout Schedule

The on-field workouts at the 2017 NFL Combine come to a close on Monday with two groups of defensive backs get their chance to run and jump for scouts.

Three days of on-field workouts are in the books, leaving just today’s festivities before the 2017 NFL Combine comes to a close. Just the defensive backs remain to take the field.

Here is a rundown of what to expect, with details for how you can follow along on Monday starting at 9 a.m. ET.

Position Groups: Defensive Backs (groups 10-11)
TV: NFL Network
Live Stream: NFL.com
Results: Combine Tracker

Just how relevant today’s workouts are to Detroit Lions fans remains to be seen. The Lions have their number one corner with Darius Slay and rumblings of a free agent pursuit of Logan Ryan. That could take cornerback out of consideration for any meaningful pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

A better bet is to keep an eye on safeties today, particularly those that project as free safeties at the next level. Tavon Wilson returns for the second of his two-year deal and Miles Killebrew showed good development after being drafted in the fourth round last year. However, both are strong safeties to play alongside Glover Quin.

With Killebrew, the Lions have their strong safety of the future (and maybe present) but they are thin behind Quin. No one will be rushing Quin out the door, but it would be prudent to at least look for a young player to develop behind him.
