2014 NFL Combine: Quarterbacks drills, measurements, and 40 yard dash times

A look at how the quarterbacks performed Sunday at the NFL Combine.

Joe Robbins

Today has been a big day at the NFL Combine, with quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs doing everything they can to impress scouts prior to April's draft.

There has been some discussion as to whether general manager Phil Emery could actually be considering drafting a quarterback this year, so we thought we'd bring some of the numbers into the equation. Here are the results of some of the drills the quarterbacks participated in, with a chart below including hand measurement.
