Rising: Myles Garrett

As was noted in part two of this series, former Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett impressed all front office execs when he hoisted 33 reps on the bench. He accomplished this task despite having freakishly-long, 35-inch arms.

The following day, Garrett cemented his status as the consensus No. 1 prospect by running a 4.64 40-yard dash at 272 pounds per Bleacher Report. Then, if that was not athletic enough, Garrett proceeded to out jump almost all other prospects. The graphic below says it all:
