Zay Flowers (Boston), Quentin Johnston (TCU), Jordan Addison (USC) and Jalin Hyatt (Tennessee) may have entered the NFL Scouting Combine as the best receivers, but it was Jaxon Smith-Njigba who left the best impression at the combine.

After a hamstring injury limited him to just three games last year, combine workouts were crucial for the Ohio State product, and Smith-Njigba showed up and out!

The former Buckeye led all receivers with a 6.57-second three-cone test and 3.93-second short shuttle.

In his throwing session alongside his former Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud, Smith-Njigba reaffirmed his skills and catching abilities.

In the tight end room, Georgia's Darnell Washington drew heavy comparisons to Rob Gronkowski after his impressive testing and field performances that featured an insane one-handed grab!

Washington didn’t get a ton of opportunities at Georgia, but he captured everyone’s attention at the NFL Combine.

While there may not be a lot separating this year's talented group of tight ends, Washington definitely made a name for himself at this year's combine.
