Apologies if this was already posted. I remember last year there was quite a bit of talk since Watson at the combine threw at 49mph and according to many that was a big concern in terms of ball velocity, so I thought about taking a look at this year's QBs at the combine just out of curiousity.

Allen set the record since they started tracking velocity (from 2008 I think):

Here's their performances at the combine.
Among the 4 guys who are usually rated as the top 4 prospects:

Josh Allen - Wyoming - 62 (left), 62 (right)

Sam Darnold didn't throw.


Baker Mayfield - Oklahoma - 59 (left), 60 (right)

Josh Rosen - UCLA - 57 (left), 59 (right)

Then the most notable names from the rest of the group:

[font=Roboto]Mike White - Western Kentucky - 53 (left), 55 (right)[/font]

[font=Roboto]Kyle Lauletta - Richmond - 52 (left), 52 (right)[/font]

[font=Roboto]Luke Falk - Washington State - 52 (left), 52 (right)[/font]

[font=Roboto]Mason Rudolph - Oklahoma State - 52 (left), 52 (right)[/font]

[font=Roboto]Lamar Jackson - Louisville - 49 (left), 49 (right) (same as D. Watson last year)[/font]
