Sam Darnold: Will not throw at NFL Combine

Sam Darnold will not throw at combine all other QBs will participate

Sam Darnold will not throw at combine all other QBs will participate

Darnold threw for 4,143 yards on 63.1 percent passing with 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions as a sophomore last season.

This year's quarterback class is a fun one.

Darnold, along with UCLA's Josh Rosen, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield and Wyoming's Josh Allen, are expected to be selected in the first round of the draft.

At the same time, none of the quarterback-needy teams are going to Indianapolis to see Darnold's vertical leap or bench press.

The potential top pick in the upcoming draft will wait until USC's Pro Day to throw for scouts.

Beal's 21 points help Wizards hold off Bucks

Purdue's Edwards honored by Big Ten
Mason has scored at least 25 points four times since losing Coffey and Lynch, who combined to average 24.1 points this season. For the season, he leads the Boilermakers in scoring at 18.2 points per game while adding 3.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists.

Oprah Winfrey Reveals What Makes Her Such a Good Friend
They're trying to - through their voices, through the March for Our Lives - say 'We will not let this happen again. There's love in every frame of everything I do.

It's a subject that rears its head every year.

I've personally rated Darnold above the other quarterbacks based on certain scenarios.

This will nearly certainly have no impact on Darnold going in the first round; in the most recent round of CBSSports.com mock drafts, four of the six experts have Darnold going first overall, and the other two have him going no later than fifth.

Darnold has also won the big games and stepped up when needed, starting with getting USC to the Rose Bowl and winning against a unsafe Penn State team.
