Terrell Lewis and Anfernee Jennings are both expected to be selected when the 2020 NFL Draft rolls around in April. But before that happens, teams would like to see them go through a gauntlet of drills.
Unfortunately, some of those drills won’t take place at the 2020 NFL Combine.
On Tuesday, NFL reporter Jason La Canfora tweeted that Lewis and Jennings had decided to skip the combine drills and would only be participating in the on-field work:
Terrell Lewis and Anfernee Jennings will not be participating in the combine drills this week. However, they both will participate in the On-Field position work. They will do their testing at the Alabama Pro Day on March 24th.

This isn’t all that surprising, as several other top NFL prospects, including LSU quarterback Joe Burrow and Ohio State defensive end Chase Young, have announced that they wouldn’t be doing any drills at the combine.
Instead, the two former Alabama linebackers will do on-field work while preparing to do drills such as the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, three-cone drill and more at the Crimson Tide’s Pro Day, which is set to take place on March 24.
