"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At this week's 2016 NFL Scouting Combine, a large crop of prospective NFL players will face a series of physical and mental tests so that NFL teams can assess their talent. A player's performance at the combine can go a long way to determining where he'll be drafted.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While most details of the combine might be quickly forgotten by everyone except NFL scouts, several moments over the years stand out, both on and off the field.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As this year's combine gets underway, we rounded up some of the most memorable moments in NFL Scouting Combine history.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;Robert Griffin III shows his speed&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2012, Robert Griffin III ran a 4.38 40-yard dash, the second-highest for a quarterback behind Michael Vick\u2019s 4.33. Texas A&amp;amp;M QB Reggie McNeal&amp;nbsp;ran a 4.35 in 2006, but was classified as a wide receiver.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Griffin\u2019s athleticism was elite for a his position, and the performance solidified him further as a top pick in the upcoming NFL draft.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;Chris Johnson smashes a record&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Johnson set a combine record by running his 40-yard dash in 4.24 seconds. He was taken by Tennessee with the No. 24 pick in the 2008 draft.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;Dante Fowler Jr. runs the 40 in style&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2015, Florida defensive lineman Dante Fowler Jr. ran a 4.61 40-yard dash while wearing a gold watch and cheetah cleats. He was taken with the No. 3 pick in the draft, but sat out the entire 2015 season after injuring his knee before the season.\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;Tom Brady's famous combine&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tom Brady\u2019s quarterback drills were rather pedestrian, as were his other agility drills. He actually leaped just 24.5\" in the vertical jump, which ranked 283 out of 288 QBs.&amp;nbsp;The Michigan product was famously selected in the sixth round of the 2000 draft by the Patriots. Footage from the four\u2013time Super Bowl winning quarterback's combine remains a staple on Patriots game broadcasts.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;David Buehler destroys the bench press&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2009, USC kicker David Buehler&amp;nbsp;put up a ridiculous 25 reps of 225 pounds at the combine. He was taken in the fifth round by the Dallas Cowboys, and fell out of the league in 2013 after a cup of coffee with the Giants.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;Vick Ballard falls down during the 40&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[youtube:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhzmmh5KNPc]\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oops. \r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Byron Jones breaks the broad jump record\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The UConn cornerback broke a world record by leaping 12'3\" in the broad jump. He added an impressive 44.5 vertical.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;\u200BVince Young fails the Wonderlic&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Young was one of the top talents in the 2006 draft, but several critics pointed to his disastrous reported&amp;nbsp;Wonderlic score of six. Young tested again and earned a 16. The Titans used the No. 3 pick on Young weeks later.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the record, Young's Wonderlic&amp;nbsp;was not the lowest score ever recorded. Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne notably scored a 4 in 2012, and other players have also fared worse than Young.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;DeAndre Hopkins and Mark Harrison's hotel room trashed&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two wideouts in the 2013 combine\u2014Clemson\u2019s DeAndre Hopkins and Rutgers\u2019 Mark Harrison\u2014shared a hotel room that was discovered trashed.&amp;nbsp;The mess reportedly included feces, urine and half\u2013eaten food. Representatives for both players denied that they had anything to do with the incident.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hopkins has risen the wide receiver ranks with the Texans, while Harrison went undrafted and spent time with the Bears, Patriots and Chiefs before joining the CFL.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
