2011 NFL Scouting Combine: The Top Prospects #11-20


The NFL Scouting Combine is this week and more than 300 college football players from around the country will converge on Indianapolis for the seven day event. The Combine is an opportunity for NFL teams to get an upclose and personal look at the in-coming draft class.

The Combine is where a player can make a name for himself and make a big jump in the draft. But for some players, the Combine is not always in their best interest. A bad performance at the Combine can cause a player's stock to drop and cost them millions of dollars in the pros.

After the Combine is complete, 2011 NFL Mock Drafts will get shuffled around and players will rise and fall depending on how they performed. Before the first 40-yard dash is run, or the first vertical leap is attempted, here's an in-depth look at the #11-20 2011 NFL draft prospects heading into this week's NFL Combine.
