Winner: Myles Garrett, defensive end, Texas A&M
The word dominant is thrown around an awful lot these days when evaluating top NFL talent. But former Aggies star pass rusher Myles Garrett redefined the term on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium, posting numbers that should be impossible for a man of his size (6-foot-5 and 272 pounds).
Before we share those numbers, this is all you really need to know about how impressive Garrett’s combine was: Nobody was talking about John Ross breaking the combine 40-yard-dash record, just one day removed from his extraordinary feat.
Now, to the stats.

Garrett was already the consensus top player in the 2017 NFL Draft well before players arrived at Lucas Oil Stadium. What he did on the field makes what normally is a tough decision easy for the Cleveland Browns at No. 1 overall — just take Garrett and do a happy dance.
