10 NFL Draft Prospects with Most to Prove at NFL Scouting Combine

Paul Dawson, LB, TCU

In terms of pure skill, Dawson may be the best and most versatile linebacker in this year’s draft class. However, he’s been rumored to have a questionable personality (which was evidenced when he publicly called out his linebackers coach at TCU, DeMontie Cross, in a USA TODAY article that he recently authored). The one-on-one interviews will be a good opportunity for teams to gauge exactly how much of a potential locker room cancer Dawson is. In addition, he may be able to push himself ahead of players like Benardrick McKinney and Denzel Perryman by showcasing his superior athleticism in the on-field drills.
