Ten Tigers Set to Participate at NFL Combine

After being in the 3-4 the past six seasons under previous head coach Chuck Pagano, Eberflus has been brought in to get the Colts in a quicker defensive scheme, the same one in which the team found success the previous decade under Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy.

The annual NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis is where teams get to poke, prod, question and observe the next crop of players in advance of April’s draft. For Cabinda, he needs numbers of at least a 4.75 40, a 4.3 shuttle, a 7.15 three-cone and 23 bench-presses just to be considered average. Even though he played right tackle at WSU, he’s regarded as a better National Football League guard prospect. But Ventrone wants to find guys that, like he did in his own playing days, can make an impact covering kicks – and getting their hands on them, too. He’s still a top-5 or top-10 pick.

An explosive player with a rare skill set, Barkley is deserving of consideration for this year’s top overall selection.

What he needs to show: That he can ace the interview portion of the combine and demonstrate to teams that he has the maturity, presence and mindset to overcome the “locker room cancer” label.

40-yard dash: 5.43 official, not in top 15. He is now flying up the charts and was on display in the Senior Bowl. Maybe the most intriguing linebacker at the Cobine is Central Florida’s Shaquem Griffin, twin brother of Seahawk Shaquill Griffin who got an invite following a standout Senior Bowl performance. If they ask me to compete for the starting job, I’m going to compete my butt off.

Desmond King’s productive rookie season has many thinking that Jackson (right) could be the next big thing as a corner.

But football isn’t like basketball, where there are only five players on the court at any one time and they play both offense and defense.

Friday, March 2, will see the quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends take the spotlight. His game wasn’t yet refined, but because he ran a 4.22 at the NFL Combine, he was overvalued. But with Wilson having two years left on his contract, Seattle might also want to get another young QB in the system for options down the road. It will be interesting to see how he tests this week, and what he looks like in the quickness drills. “So when they come into our building (we know) that theyre a good fit for us in the locker room, in the weight room, in the training room, in the meeting rooms, out on the practice field.”. That’s what makes him an absolute lock for the NFL Draft this spring. Drills are important because all the players are on the same surface and you can compare the athletic ability of kids from large schools versus smaller schools. He’s not going to mistake anybody for a super in-line blocker but has the potential to go fairly early in the draft with an impressive outing at the home of the Colts this week.

He said their athleticism and acumen are already well-known, and they’ll flash their strength, speed and swiftness this week at Lucas Oil Stadium. “I’m excited to get in whatever situation, whatever opportunity I get to make the best of it and to put my best foot forward”. Those, along with player interviews, help shape the landscape for Round 1 of the draft itself.
