3:45 p.m.-DEFENSIVE LINEMEN SHOW UNIQUE COMBINATION OF SKILLS AT 2018 NFL SCOUTING COMBINE
In today’s NFL, defensive linemen are far more than players who clear gaps in opposing offensive lines for linebackers and blitzing safeties to come through and pressure quarterbacks or stop running backs behind the line of scrimmage.
Defensive linemen are agile athletes with the ability to cause havoc on their own, rather than just helping their teammates make plays, and several players put those skills on display during basic and position-specific drills at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis Sunday.
Here is a look back at the top-performing defensive linemen at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine:

11:20 a.m.-DEFENSIVE LINEMEN IMPRESSING WITH 40-TIMES
The defensive linemen have been about more than just quick bursts off of the line of scrimmage, and several athletes are proving that at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis today.
In the second ground of defensive linemen, Tulane's Ade Aruna set the original standard of 4.61 seconds in the 40-yard dash, a mark that UTEP's Marcus Davenport equaled with this run:
