As NFL franchises turn their attention away from Super Bowl 50 and onto next years pursuit of the Vince Lombardi trophy, the NFL Combine provides an opportunity for teams to run the rule over some potential draft targets. Coaches and general managers, scouts and analysts will gather in Indianapolis, hoping to catch a glimpse of something special that they believe can take their team from contender to champion.The Combine should never be the sole basis for a teams draft choice, but it can be an important tool in gauging how a player performs under isolated stressors. As the physical tests begin at the Lucas Oil Stadium, we take a look at some of the key positions head coaches are looking to fill. Making sense of the Combine View from America on what it all means Wide Receiver Teams in need: Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Seattle SeahawksExplosive power, rapid acceleration, agility and good ball-handling skills are just a few of the physical traits needed to play WR.The various drills at the Combine allow wide outs to showcase their ability, from the 40-yard dash to the various agility tests. Of course, nothing compares to the game tape, but coaches and GMs will have the chance to analyse how players handle themselves under the pressure of playing for their future. Running back Melvin Gordon of Wisconsin runs the 40-yard dash at Lucas Oil Stadium Wide Receivers to watch: Connor Coleman (Baylor), Will Fuller (Notre Dame), Braxton Miller (Ohio State)CornerbackTeams in need: Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, Pittsburgh SteelersA disruptive corner can be a complete game changer; the ability to anticipate the quarterbacks throwing route and the physical presence to challenge, intercept and tackle. Josh Norman #24 of the Carolina Panthers Weve seen players like Richard Sherman and Josh Norman prove to be crucial in their respective teams recent success, and the Combine provides a plethora of physical examinations to improve - or damage - draft stock. Expect big performances in the 40-yard dash and vertical leap tests.Cornerbacks to watch: Jalen Ramsey (Florida State), Vernon Hargreaves (Florida), Mackensie Alexander (Clemson) Tight end Clive Walford of Miami competes in the vertical jump during the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine QuarterbackTeams in need: Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ersWith no clear frontrunner in this years draft class, the honour of top QB is very much up for grabs. As the lynchpin of the offence, drafting a quarterback can be extremely difficult. A good comparison might be the former first round pick Johnny Manzeil, still struggling to adjust to life in Cleveland, compared with the sixth round pick of Tom Brady in 2000, now proud owner of four Super Bowl rings. Quarterback Connor Cook #5 of Michigan State speaks to the media during the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine There are a few teams looking to invest in a quarterback of the future, and player interviews will be as crucial as any of the physical tests.Quarterbacks to watch: Jared Goff (UC Berkeley), Connor Cook (Michigan State), Carson Wentz (North Dakota State) NFL Ins and Outs Tracking the news and moves throughout the off season Outside LinebackerTeams in need: Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, Chicago BearsThe physical requirements of OLB really depend on the defensive style of the team. Franchises that deploy a 4-3 system want outside linebackers that are slightly smaller but agile, with pace to cover the oppositions run game. A 3-4 system will require larger, more powerful athletes to rush the quarterback. UCLA Linebacker Myles Jack #30 is worth watching at the Combine Head coaches will be looking for a dominant bench press performance, as well as speed and agility in the pass-drop and hip rotation workout.Outside linebackers to watch: Myles Jack (UCLA), Jaylon Smith (Notre Dame), Kentrell Brothers (Missouri)Offensive TackleTeams in need: Tennessee Titans, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo BillsPriority No 1: protect your quarterback. Tackles have to be strong, aware of pressure from all angles, and have the balance and agility to fend off opposition. With the Tennessee Titans holding the top pick in the draft, a player at this position has a good chance of being the first player off the board.Offensive tackles to watch: Laremy Tunsil (Mississippi), Ronnie Stanley (Notre Dame), Taylor Decker (Ohio State) Offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil has been tipped as a No 1 pick at this years NFL Draft Also See: Making sense of the NFL Combine NFL Ins and Outs Mariners Jerseys China .

Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. NEW YORK -- Villanova has a new name this season: defending national champion Villanova.Six months ago, the Wildcats won the NCAA championship in a thrilling finish, beating North Carolina 77-74. Its been a whirlwind since.This was all firsts for us, Villanova coach Jay Wright said Tuesday. It was our first time to the White House and to be honored at Philadelphia City. We came back from our trip to Spain -- where nobody knew us -- we didnt even get our bags before people were asking for pictures.Once we start playing everything will be back to usual. Still, we dont know what it will be like to walk into visiting arenas as the national champions.The Wildcats were the overwhelming choice of the Big East coaches as the preseason No. 1. Xavier, which finished in last seasons final Top Ten , was second followed by Creighton, Georgetown, defending Big East Tournament champion Seton Hall, Butler, Marquette, St. Johns, Providence and DePaul.Villanova lost starters Ryan Arcidiacono and Daniel Ochefu and it wont be their points, rebounds or assists that will be hard to replace.Arch and Daniel were natural leaders. They were seniors. They played a lot of basketball and knew how to lead, Wright said. It will be tough to replace them, but well enjoy the journey.Wright has Big East preseason player of the year Josh Hart and Kris Jenkins, who hit the 3 at the buzzer for the national title, among the returnees.Roles change every year, so Josh and I will try to take over the leadership role, Jenkins said. Well put last year behind us. At least well try to.Jenkins was asked how often he watches the tape of his title-winning jumper.I havent watched it in a while, he said. Ill save something like that for when Im done playing.Xavier has three starters back and the Musketeers are a trendy natioonal pick for a Final Four berth.ddddddddddddWe have a good experienced group. I think Im excited to coach them, coach Chris Mack said. Last year, there was a lot of teaching, a lot of learning. Youre always learning, but the experience level they bring back gives you great comfort as a coach because theyve been there before. Theyve been in those big games. Theyre not afraid of the big moment.Preseason first-teamers Trevon Bluiett and Edmond Sumner return for the Musketeers.To me Edmond was one of the top point guards in a tremendous point-guard league a year ago, Mack said. Edmond has that maturity about him. Hes going to have another really good year for us.Georgetown forward Isaac Copeland was honest in the reason why he thinks the Hoyas will have a better season than last year, when they finished 15-18 overall and eighth in the 10-team league.Mainly conditioning, Copeland said when asked what the Hoyas did this offseason. There were times last year when we were out of shape, just straight up out of shape. I think this year we run a lot more so we can push the ball more and play at a much faster pace.Seton Hall beat Villanova in last seasons Big East Tournament championship game and then had to watch the Wildcats win it all.I watched it. It was killing me to watch it, Pirates junior Khadeen Carrington said. Im happy that they won. It shows how deep the league is, how good the league is.I think we gave them that fuel to go win that. I think Jay Wright said something like that, we gave them that fuel to go out and win six games.The preseason all-conference team is Jenkins, Bluiett, Sumner, Kelan Marton, Butler and Maurice Watson Jr. of Creighton.
