Trey Flowers performed well at the NFL Combine Sunday.

The former Arkansas star was one of the top defensive ends in the vertical jump, broad jump and the 60-yard shuttle.

His 121-inch broad jump was actually tied for second among defensive linemen, while his 36 1/2-inch vertical jump and 12.03-second 60-yard shuttle were fifth-best.

NFL.com gave him a 5.6 grade, meaning he has a "chance to become an NFL starter."

In other workouts, Flowers ran the 40-yard dash in 4.93 seconds, did 28 reps at 225 pounds in the bench press, completed the three cone drill in 7.34 seconds and ran the 20-yard shuttle in 4.40 seconds.

Here is a look at how the other three former Razorbacks did at the combine.

A.J. Derby

The tight end did 15 reps in the bench press and measured at 6-foot-4, 255 pounds.

Despite spending only one season at the position, he has been given a 5.3 grade by NFL.com, which means he has "NFL backup or special teams potential."

Darius Philon

Philon checked in at 6-foot-1 and 298 pounds in Indianapolis.

He ran the 40-yard dash in 5 seconds flat, which was the fifth-fastest among defensive tackles at the combine. He also did 26 reps in the bench press, jumped 31 inches in the vertical jump and 107 inches in the broad jump, and completed the three cone drill in 8 seconds.

NFL.com gives him a 5.45 grade, which means he has "NFL backup or special teams potential," but he is close to the "chance to become an NFL starter" threshold.

Martrell Spaight

The linebacker ran the 40-yard dash in 4.88 seconds, but NFL.com writer Chase Goodbread doesn't think teams should write him off. "Plays faster. SEC assistant coach told me he had better year than (Mississippi State linebacker Benardrick) McKinney," Goodbread tweeted Sunday.

He also did 25 reps in the bench press, jumped 35 inches in the vertical jump and 120 inches in the broad jump, and was given a 5.3 grade ("NFL backup or special teams potential") by NFL.com.
