INDIANAPOLIS -- Entering the 2016 , few believed this year's cla s of wide receivers to be as strong as last year's.Perhaps nobody believes it now.More than a few 40-yard dash times came in slower than expected in that position group. Of the 43 wide receivers invited to the combine, six did not run, including the draft's top two prospects at the position: Ole Mi s' and Baylor's . Of the 37 who took their marks, only two broke 4.4 -- Notre Dame's (4.32) and TCU's (4.39).Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said last fall he expected to also break 4.4 here; Miller ran 4.50, and his Buckeyes teammate, ran 4.57. Colorado State star ran 4.64, Auburn's in 4.72, and Mi si sippi State's ran slower than most of the quarterbacks (4.85)."I have a hard time seeing more than one or two receivers Jorbit Vivas Jersey in the first round," said NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock. "This is not the same receiver cla s we saw the last couple years. We saw that today; nowhere near as explosive." CB took as well.Here are eight other things we learned Saturday at the NFL :Draft experts might regard and as the top two quarterback prospects available, but physically and athletically, Wentz (6-5, 237) and Memphis' (6-6, 244) are more comparable. On Saturday, Wentz edged Lynch in three of five drills, but Lynch was very close behind him and showed far more explosivene s in the vertical jump. Here's how the two measured up to each other Saturday:40-yard dash: Lynch: 4.86 Wentz: 4.77Vertical jump: Lynch: 36 inches Wentz: 30 1/2 inchesBroad jump: Lynch: 9 feet, 10 inches Wentz: 9 feet, 10 inches20-yard short shuttle: Lynch: 4.26 Wentz: 4.15Three-cone drill: Lynch: 7.14 Wentz: 6.86Tenne see pa s rusher refused to comment on a from former teammate Drae Bowles in which Bowles accused Maggitt of punching him in the mouth because Bowles helped an alleged rape victim who said she was a saulted by two other players. He instead referred questions to his attorney, but said this about his former school being under fire for its handling of the case: "There is no culture problem at Tenne see."Baylor DL was bench pre sing 500 pounds before he got out of high school, and said he believed the combine record of 49 reps of 225 pounds is within his reach. It wasn't. He turned in 31 reps, but said his training focus was more on speed.Clemson CB Saturday. And because Saturday was the last day for players to speak to reporters, he won't be giving it back.One of the most honest moments of media interviews Saturday came from Houston CB on why he had to go to junior college before UH: "I was a knucklehead in high school," he said. Who wasn't?TCU star QB , who might have to make an NFL roster as a wide receiver, didn't exactly run a receiver-like 40-time with a 4.77. If he ultimately insists on playing quarterback and doesn't make it in the NFL, his skill set could light up CFL scoreboards for a long time.The last time played cornerback was Georgia's spring practice in 2012, and not far from this time of year. So this week, an NFL club reportedly asked him to shake four years of rust off his coverage skills, and .Louisiana Tech DL on the history le son he got on Bulldogs football upon his arrival at the school: "I already knew about Terry Bradshaw. I didn't know about Willie Roaf or Fred Dean."*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *. Marcus Stroman Jersey
