18 for '18: College football's most freakish athletes
NFL.com's 18 for '18 series closes with a look at college football's most freakish athletes. They come in big and small packages over a cross section of every position on the field. They astound their teammates in offseason training, and many -- if not all -- will eventually put on an impressive show at the NFL Scouting Combine. Some are stronger than fast, others faster -- or quicker -- than strong, but they all bring crazy-impressive skills to the gridiron. The list was compiled in consultation with NFL scouts, college coaches and sports information directors.
