Calvin Johnson earned the nickname "Megatron" for his freakish athletic ability. He used it to carve out a dominant career in the NFL that eventually resulted in a Hall of Fame selection. He impressed from the start at the combine, measuring in at 6'5 tall and 239 pounds, but could still jump through the roof and record a 4.35 time in the 40-yard dash. He also did it in a borrowed pair of shoes.

#4 - Vernon Davis

Vernon Davis has had a solid career as a tight end in the NFL. While he may not be one of the greatest of all-time, he is certainly one of the most athletically gifted. His well-rounded skill set paired with his massive frame made for an impressive showing at the NFL combine. His overall statistics in relation to his measurable size are still some of the best combinations ever to come out of college.

#5 - Matt Jones

Matt Jones was a quarterback during his college football career. He switched positions to wide receiver for a better chance of being selected in the draft, so he needed a strong performance at the combine to prove he was capable. He was so impressive that he was drafted in the first round as a wide receiver, despite not playing the position.
