The 2017 edition of the NFL Combine has come and gone, and now all’s left is to analyze, analyze, analyze. Here are some of the best players the Buccaneers and the NFL saw in Indianapolis.

As strange as it might sound to some, the yearly scouting combine is a competition. It’s also the last semblance of competition we’ll see on a pro football field until August. Now it’s back to work for the Buccaneers and the rest of the league in preparation for the draft.

Bottom line, competitors want to compete to see who’s fastest, strongest, and ultimately who’s the best.

Dalvin Cook turned a few heads when he announced he was the best running back in this year’s class; but did he live up to his own hype?

Myles Garrett has been the consensus number-one pick for at least the last three months and was looking to cement his spot.

Many other storylines were present – or not present – and we’ll look at some of the biggest and analyze just how this year’s combine may have impacted the NFL Draft.
