INDIANAPOLIS -- Texas A&M and Utah are tied after Day 2 of the NFL Scouting Combine medals count, with seven medals each, while a standout performance by John Ross III has put the Washington Huskies in contention.
The medals count awards schools gold, silver and bronze medals for its players who turn in a first-, second- or third-place finish at their position in any event. The updated count will be posted each day, concluding with the final results on Monday, and will be a strong indication of which school performed best.
Utah led after Day 1 with seven medals, but added none Saturday to fall into a tie with the Aggies. Texas A&M picked up three gold medals Saturday as QB Trevor Knight finished first among quarterbacks in the 40-yard dash and vertical jump, while Aggies WR Speedy Noil's 43.5-inch vertical led all receivers. Ross blew away the 40-yard dash field with a 4.22 clocking that broke the combine record of 4.24 previously held by Chris Johnson. Ross also picked up a bronze medal with a third-place finish in the broad jump.
Tennessee and UTEP are tied for third place with five medals each entering Day 3, while Washington currently ranks fifth with four medals.
