The signal callers came to play last Saturday, and many proved that they are legitimate dual threats on the field. Having this athleticism at their disposal is a major plus that will help these athletes get attention from the next level. It is not easy stopping a QB when you need to cover every inch of the field, while also cutting off every running lane and containing these dual threats. Let’s check out who performed best in the combine portion of the day!
