INDIANAPOLIS – Travis Homer continues to impress everyone with his production.

Only this time, it was on the biggest stage yet for the former Miami starting running back at the NFL scouting combine this past Friday (Mar. 1) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Of the 28 running backs who participated in the combine, Homer’s overall numbers were mostly in the top 10. He even tied for first in one drill category.

Here are Homer’s official performance numbers from the NFL scouting combine:

40-yard dash – 4.48 seconds
Broad jump – 10 feet, 10 inches (T-1)
Bench press – 17 reps
Vertical jump – 39.5 inches
20-yard shuttle – 4.31 seconds
3-cone drill – 7.07 seconds

Prior to the combine, Homer (Oxbridge Academy alum) was seen by many scouts and analysts as either a late-round draft pick or I drafted free agent. Now with his stellar performance on this stage, it’s anybody’s guess where he will end up on the weekend of this year’s NFL Draft (Apr. 25-27 in Nashville, Tenn.).

As for Devin Singletary, his story is quite different from Homer’s.

Widely viewed by pundits as either a second or third-round pick in the NFL Draft, the former FAU starting running back will be supremely focused on his FAU Pro Day performance, which is set for Tuesday, March 26 at 2 p.m.

FAU Pro Day will be closely watched by scouts because of how the Owls best-ever running back performed at the scouting combine this past Friday. Here are Singletary’s numbers across the board:

40 yard dash – 4.66 seconds
Bench Press – 15 reps
Vertical jump – 35.0 inches
Broad jump – 9 feet, 9 inches
3-cone drill – 7.32 seconds
20-yard shuttle – 4.4 seconds

Here’s the thing: NFL scouts and analysts evaluate a whole lot of things when it comes to their potential selections of a player in the draft. The most important thing to them is a player’s production on tape, and this is why Singletary (Delray Beach American Heritage alum) will almost certainly be an early-to-mid-round draft pick.

Even after the combine, NFL scouts see Singletary as a possible instant starter in the league. Numbers will do absolutely nothing to change that.

Moving on to the local wide receivers at the combine, former Ohio State standout Johnnie Dixon (Dwyer alum) put on a show for all to see. His 40-yard dash time (4.41 seconds) was a top-10 overall performance among all combine participants.

Dixon’s numbers were stellar across the board. Don’t be surprised if he ends up as a mid-to-late-round draft pick.

Here are his results:

40 – 4.41 seconds
Bench Press – 16 reps
Vertical jump – 37.5 inches
Broad Jump – 10 feet
20-yard shuttle – 4.43 seconds

Meanwhile, former South Alabama wideout Jamarius Way (Glades Central alum) was ecstatic to be chosen for the combine. He’s come a long way, and it showed in Indianapolis.

Here are Way’s numbers:

40-yard dash – 4.63 seconds
Bench press – 16 reps
Vertical jump – 32.5 inches
Broad jump – 9 feet, 11 inches
20-yard shuttle – 4.66 seconds

Right now, Way is widely seen as an undrafted free agent with a 50-50 shot to make it past NFL training camp. Anything can happen with the Muck product.

Former Notre Dame linebacker Te’von Coney (Palm Beach Gardens alum) and Florida offensive lineman Fred Johnson (Royal Palm Beach alum) did not perform at the combine.

Coney should be in good shape regardless, as he’s seen by Pro Football Focus as one of this year’s top linebackers in the draft (91.8 overall grade). As for Johnson, it’s anybody’s guess what will happen next.

From now until next month’s NFL Draft, these six featured local prospects will be constantly training for their respective Pro Days at their colleges. We’ll be monitoring their progress from here on out.
