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

T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama

While Yeldon certainly had his fair share of big moments during his college career, he may have made a poor decision to enter this year’s draft. He’s being overshadowed by backs like Todd Gurley, Tevin Coleman, Melvin Gordon, Duke Johnson, and others, and it’s easy to see how he could slide to the third day of the draft.

Yeldon, who was banged up during his final season at Alabama, could help himself by running a good 40 in Indy and performing well in the pass-catching drills, which was an area that he struggled in at times with the Crimson Tide. If Yeldon performs well at the combine, he could recover some of the draft stock that he lost by picking up at least 100 yards just once over his last six college games.
