3 NFL Combine Props to Target on PrizePicks

Our friends over at PrizePicks posted by far the most comprehensive list of NFL Combine props in the industry, leading to some great money-making opportunities for those willing to dive into the nitty-gritty world of athletic measurables and context. PrizePicks players know you can’t just select one play but need to use at least two. That’s part of the house's advantage but I think our edge is still big enough to negate the fact you have to (pun not intended) combine plays.

Top PrizePicks NFL Combine Props

Ikem Ekwonu 40-Yard Dash: Under 5.0 Seconds

Ikem Ekwonu is expected to light up the NFL Combine. Todd McShay went as far as saying, “When we leave the combine it’s going to be ‘Oh, Ikem Ekwonu, the guy who blew up the combine.”

Ekwonu ran a 5.26 40-yard dash three years ago and has only become a more explosive athlete since then. Here's a snippet on Ekwonu from Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List:

"Strength coach Dantonio Burnette says Ekwonu, who has hit 18 MPH on the GPS at practice and vertical jumped 30 inches, will run as fast as former Wolfpack first-round offensive lineman Garrett Bradbury, who clocked a 4.92 40 at the NFL Combine."

This is one of my favorite picks to pair with any other prop. We have already gotten down on “Ikey” to go No. 1 overall at 100/1 in our Discord but continue to look for more opportunities to make money backing the uber-athlete.

Trevor Penning 40-Yard Dash: Under 5.1 Seconds

Trevor Penning is another big man I’m taking the under on. He also made the aforementioned Feldman’s elite list of “freak” athletes and is expected to run a 5.0-second 40-yard dash. I know this doesn’t leave much of a margin but the under is worth a play.

Calvin Austin 40-Yard Dash: Over 4.36 Seconds

There was a report Calvin Austin could run in the 4.3s but that seems unlikely according to some chirps from anonymous sources at the combine. He may have added more weight or is dealing with a lingering injury. Either way, I like the over here.

Other leans will be posted on Twitter and in the Discord!
