The 2023 NFL Scouting Combine coming in hot now as we have another position group that has wrapped things up on Saturday. The defensive back position group has gone through the weigh-ins, workouts, and bench press. They’ll all be headed home by now.
You can watch the NFL Combine on NFL Network to keep up on this all-important annual scouting event. For the full schedule of events for each group, check out our NFL Combine Schedule.
Before we get into the results from the defensive backs group, keep this tweet in mind as a helpful tool to compare to for each position.

For the purpose of this post, keep a keen eye on the cornerback and safety columns from the above chart.
In searching for the best combine results to review the weigh-in and results from the NFL Combine, I found a pretty good sorting table from Walter Football. Below is just the raw data, but no sorting for the results from the defensive backs group.
