2018 NFL Combine: 6 Players With the Most to Gain

Mark Walton, RB, Miami

Earlier this month, Walton got some outstanding news as he was cleared to be a full participant at the combine. Just four games into his junior season at Miami, Walton suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Putting up some strong workout numbers is exactly what Walton needs to propel his draft stock upward.

In addition to seeing how healthy Walton looks in the various drills, an interesting item of note will be his weight. That's because Walton's weight varies greatly -- (188 pounds on NFL.com, 195 per Rotoworld and 205 via SR-CFB) -- depending on the website publishing the information.

Walton nearly recorded 300 receiving yards as a freshman, and on just 152 touches, he scored 10 touchdowns in 13 games. He proceeded to break out as a sophomore, tallying more than 1,300 yards from scrimmage on 236 touches while scoring 15 touchdowns in 13 games.

As a runner, Walton's efficiency improved significantly in his final two years. Over his last 17 games, Walton averaged 5.8 yards per carry and scored a total of 18 times.

A fully healthy Walton ought to generate a lot of buzz. He really fits today's game because of his receiving ability. In 30 career games at Miami, Walton caught 56 passes for 624 yards (11.1 yards per grab).
