2020 NFL Combine: Safety Prospects, Invites, What To Watch For

Rankings and what to watch for out of all the safety prospects invited to the 2020 NFL Combine.

5. Terrell Burgess, Utah 6-0, 198 (2)

Why He’s Here On The List: It’ll be interesting to see what the thought processes are on him from the various scouts. He can move – he’ll run well in Indy – and he’s a decent hitter with 81 tackles last year. Most of all, he’s the type of player who can make a defense his. He’s got that thing that makes him as ultra-reliable as they come, but does he have the fluidity to move like an NFL defensive back?

What The NFL Types Want To See: How effortlessly does he move? He’s got to be able to cut and flip and fly like a top 50 all-around pick. It’ll be hard to show off his tackling ability, but the more physical a vibe he can give off – as strange as that sounds – the better.

Bottom Line: Teams are going to look for anything to like in the workout – they’re going to want him. It’s going to be all about the raw numbers and how smooth he is. He’ll find a home in the first three rounds on football playing ability, but he can’t be clunky.
