About six weeks ago, more than 300 professional football prospects congregated in Indianapolis for the NFL Combine — but only 20 of them hailed from the FCS level. That got us thinking at HERO Sports — what would happen if we got 300+ pro prospects from the FCS together in one location? Alas, the logistics of something like that are impossible — but why not grab all the day-by-day Pro Day results from FCS athletes and create a "Mythical FCS Combine". So that's what we did with the data we were able to track down for more than 320 FCS players.
Today is the final update of our list, and you can see it broken down position by position below — ending after April 5 when the final FCS Pro Days were held.

We are now two weeks into the Pro Day cycle (takes about four weeks), and starting this week we're going to break the FCS' performances into seven position groups as more and more results pour in. Note also that NFL Combine marks are also included here, as many of the combine participants do not run or lift at their on-campus Pro Days.
Here are the links to the FCS Combine performance charts, by positions:
Safeties | Cornerbacks |
Edge | Defensive Tackles
Linebackers | Offensive Linemen
Running Backs | Quarterbacks
Special Teams
Wide Receivers | Tight Ends
