The NFL Combine is an opportunity for players to show their true athletic ability. Sure the tape on the field is far more important than how they do in drills, but players can really impact their draft stock by how they perform at the combine.

Georgia sent 10 players to the combine this year, and that included offensive line duo Micah Morris and Monroe Freeling. It’s hard for the average fan to get a feel for how good and athletic an offensive lineman is, but these two put on an absolute show at the combine.

Micah Morris, Monroe Freeling dominate the NFL Combine

The RAS is a score that combines all of the combine metrics together to see how a draft prospect did compared to every other player at his position. This score doesn't tell the whole story, but it is a great indicator on how well this player projects to translate to the NFL.

Morris shined at the combine based on this score as he posted a 9.98 RAS score out of a possible 10. This ranks him No. 5 out of 1,748 players to compete at the combine dating back to 1987. This score was enough to label Morris as one of the biggest risers at the combine this weekend.

Morris however was topped by Freeling who scored a 9.99 and ranked No. 2 at his position dating back to 1987.

Freeling's performance was also much better than the other offensive tackles at the combine who project to be a first round draft pick. The buzz he generated was so great that he very well could be the first tackle taken in the draft later this summer.

Both Morris and Freeling will have a chance to compete at Georgia's Pro Day later this offseason, but it's clear that they have already done enough to impress NFL organizations.
