Wide Receivers & Running Backs Show Off Speed in Saturday's Combine Drills

It was also a big name day at the podium, as **[Penn State guard Vega Ioane](https://www.chargers.com/news/vega-ioane-mock-draft-2026-combine)** took some time to answer questions for the media.

Ioane, a popular pick by draft experts in **[Chargers Mock Drafts](https://www.chargers.com/news/mock-draft-tracker-2026-nfl)** so far, is regarded as the top interior offensive line prospect in this year's draft.

For good reason, too, as he's coming off a final season at Penn State where he did not allow a single sack and only gave up four total pressures, good for a 1.3 percent pressure rate in addition to his physical nature in the run game.

"Just have to come out and be physical," he said. "That's the biggest part to it.

"Especially as a guard, you have to have to have that mentality of moving someone from point A to point B," he added.

Ioane is confident about what he could bring to the table in the NFL.

"You're going to get a competitive player," Ioane said. "When I go out there on the field, I'm an entirely different person.

"You're going to get a competitive player out of me, an aggressive player," he added. "Mentality and being the most physical guy out there."

#### **The Main Takeaway**

Saturday's on-field activities kept with yesterday's trend of speed.

The Combine saw a number of prospects show off the speed once again in Indianapolis, including the fastest group of running backs ever seen at the event.

Top running back prospect Love was among them as the 6-foot, 212-pound player ran the second-fastest time of the day for his position at 4.36 seconds.

But perhaps one of the biggest headlines of the day was the performance of Mike Washington, Jr., a running back out of Arkansas.

Washington stacked together an impressive performance that could help his stock, with the fastest 40-yard dash time along his position and second-best broad and vertical jump in addition to his stellar drill work.

In fact, at his size and weight, the performance ranked him as the most athletic running back since 1987 according to Relative Athletic Score.

It was arguably one of the top performances in a day filled with them, like Kentucky's Seth McGowan and Notre Dame's Jadarian Price among them.
