The combine lumps all defensive linemen together regardless of defensive end or defensive tackle. For these purposes, I've separated them out (as best I can) from the edge rushers and the interior defenders to offer a little perspective when considering how they perform in different drills.
Let's start with the ends, which features the extreme athletic talents of the consensus number one overall pick, Myles Garrett. Seen here launching 272 pounds 41 inches into the air.
MYLES GARRETT IS A BEAST!
