At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-4 and 246-pound Armstrong had a 40-time of 4.87 seconds, a vertical jump of 30 inches, a broad jump of 118 inches, completed the three-cone drill in 7.12 seconds, had 20 reps in the bench press, a 20-yard shuttle time of 4.23 seconds, and a 60-yard shuttle time of 11.82 seconds.
NFL.com projects Armstrong to be a fourth- or fifth-round draft pick.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com, who compares Armstrong to Kamerion Wimbley, wrote the following within his scouting report:
"Armstrong is an intriguing prospect with the build and fluid athleticism of a shooting guard. Armstrong's drop in production can be attributed to a change in scheme that asked him to play run first and pass second. His game revolves around athletic ability over technique, but his poor forty times at both the Combine and his pro day could cause concerns. Armstrong has the tools and upside to become an eventual starter at outside linebacker in a 3-4."
