2016 NFL Scouting Combine: Quarterback top performers in every event

New, comments
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports

Admittedly, the top performers in the physical workouts in the combine don't usually offer a whole lot in evaluating quarterbacks. Even so, most of them partake in a few of them to attempt to show their athletic abilities if even to give them a slight advantage.

As for their passing skills, it can be a bit difficult to fully judge the quarterbacks due to the fact that they are working with receivers of whom they are entirely unfamiliar. But from the looks of things, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz did nothing to dampen scouts high opinions of them, with the possible exception of Goff's tiny hands.

For the quarterbacks, we will also toss in the best measurements in height and hand size just to offer a bit more information.
