2024 NFL Combine: News, Notes and Highlights from Day 2 Workouts

Catch up on all the action from the second day of on-field workouts at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine.

The second day of the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine gave us a chance to see the top defensive back and tight end prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft class, and plenty of them made the most of their chance to shine in front of league scouts and decision-makers.

From blazing-fast 40-yard dashes to impressive agility drills and eye-popping jumps, these two position groups didn't disappoint.

While there may have been a few players who didn't live up to the expectations they brought into the week, for the most part, both of these groups had their draft stock moving in the right direction.

Here's a rundown of some of the biggest news, notes, and highlights from Friday's action at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis:

JT Sanders has had the cleanest workout of any tight end. Really really good route tree execution.

Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell "has another gear that not many people have," according to @MoveTheSticks.

There is SO MUCH GOODNESS in this conversation with Terrion Arnold. He breaks down his tape… then sends a POWERFUL message to his amazing Mom Tamala. He had me in tears… @nflnetwork ❤️ pic.twitter.com/vkSXyh7Bup

Wiggins just told me after seeing the medical staff, it’s a hip flexor. Says it’s more of a strain. Told me he should be okay by his Pro Day at Clemson. https://t.co/GMjgFINDaq
