One NFL combine star from all 32 teams

— -- With the NFL scouting combine set to begin Tuesday, NFL Nation reporters pick combine stars from every team, from the unknowns who boosted their stocks to the stars who put on a show and solidified their draft positions.

AFC EAST

Buffalo Bills: Most considered cornerback Ronald Darby a second- or third-round pick when he declared for the 2015 NFL draft, but his combine performance solidified his status as the Bills' eventual second-round selection at No. 50 overall. Darby ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds, third best among cornerbacks at the combine, and posted the third-best vertical jump at his position. He finished second in the Associated Press' NFL defensive rookie of the year voting the past season. -- Mike Rodak

AFC NORTH

Baltimore Ravens:  Lardarius Webb significantly improved his draft stock when he tied for the fastest 40-yard dash time among cornerbacks (4.46 seconds) at the 2009 combine. It was an important showing for Webb, who needed to turn heads as a small school defensive back from Nicholls State. The Ravens drafted him in the third round, and Webb became a five-year starter. Webb is expected to make the shift to safety in 2016. -- Jamison Hensley

AFC SOUTH

Houston Texans: I'm going with J.J. Watt. He has made himself into an even better athlete than he was back then, but Watt ranked second among defensive linemen in the vertical jump (37 inches) and the three-cone drill and was fourth in bench-press reps. The Texans took him 11th, one spot after the Jaguars took quarterback  Blaine Gabbert, in the 2011 draft. -- Tania Ganguli

AFC WEST

Denver Broncos: When the team arrived at the 2011 combine, the Broncos already liked Von Miller and had already put him in a group of players they would consider with the draft's No. 2 pick. They had seen the pass-rush work, uncommon flexibility and leverage he used to either overpower or run around opposing blockers. But when the 246-pound pass-rusher uncorked a 4.53 40-yard dash, 37-inch vertical leap and 126-inch standing broad jump, it was the last sliver of confirmation Denver needed to make him the pick. That he elected to work out, the Broncos felt, also showed his competitiveness. -- Jeff Legwold

NFC EAST

Dallas Cowboys: Google Byron Jones and broad jump, and more than 56,000 sources are cited. Jones' combine workout last year paved his way to a first-round selection. Jones' broad jump of 12-feet, 3-inches was not only a combine record but also a world record. His vertical jump of 44½ inches was a half-inch short of the best leap at the 2014 combine. What Jones was able to do at the combine brought teams back to his tape on the field, and he was able to make himself a lot of money. The Cowboys picked Jones with the 27th overall pick in the first round, and he started 11 games as a rookie at cornerback and safety. For 2016, the Cowboys view Jones as a starting free safety. -- Todd Archer

NFC NORTH

Chicago Bears: Offensive lineman  Kyle Long's stock skyrocketed after the Senior Bowl and combine in 2013. Keep in mind, Long started only five games for Oregon in 2012, before the NCAA ruled he had used up all his eligibility. Despite such a limited body of work, Long wowed scouts with his size, speed, athleticism and intelligence. Long also answered all the character concerns that stemmed from an arrest early in college, while he was a baseball player at Florida State. Without the combine and Senior Bowl, the Bears probably would not have selected Long with the 20th overall pick. -- Jeff Dickerson

NFC SOUTH

Atlanta Falcons: Wide receiver Julio Jones exploded at the combine in 2011, despite a fracture in his foot. The former Alabama star ran the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds, the third-best time among receivers. The Falcons traded five picks to move up to select Jones sixth overall, and Jones has been one of the league's best wideouts ever since. -- Vaughn McClure

NFC WEST

Arizona Cardinals: There were questions surrounding safety Tyrann Mathieu before the 2013 combine, but he showed that even after a year off, he still had the physical attributes to be an impact player -- which he was when the Cardinals took a risk on him in the third round. Aside from the off-the-field issues that led to Mathieu's being kicked off the LSU team before the 2012 season and arrested that October, Mathieu's size was a concern. He's 5-foot-9 in a league that values height and bulk. He was able to add the muscle needed to play safety at the NFL level, but he proved he didn't need the height by continuing his ball-hawking ways with the Cardinals. -- Josh Weinfuss
