NFL Combine

[BC923]

KPL is really performing. 4.41 and 4.44 unofficially and 28 on the bench after coming in at a higher weight than expected. He may get drafted now.

He had a great day!! Official time for his 40 was 4.51 which placed him first in his LB group. Who knew that BC had such good speeeeed!

[HJS]

KPL was the top performing LB in both bench and 40. He'll have no trouble getting drafted as he has good film and assume is a great interview. My guess is 4th or 5th round.

As for top performers, Aaron Donald is the Keuchly of the DLine. Guy has won every award known to man and no-one talks about him as a top prospect. There seemed to be doubters that were waiting for him to bomb at the combine. Instead, he ran the fastest 40 of the DTs (almost a full second ahead of Nix) and had the second best bench press (Kaleb Ramsey did one more) and was top in the cone drill. Someone is going to get a steal in the late first round/early second with this guy.

Frank piraino should get a raise.

Frank piraino should get a raise.

These guys are all off on their own training after the season is over leading up to the combine ( should get the credit for recruiting these fine specimens)

Warren K. Zola ‏@WarrenKZola 2h
With Edebali, Patchan, Pierre-Louis, Ramsey & Williams all doing well at Combine, visibility goes up for other hopefuls at BC's Pro Day.

I was really hoping Donald fell to the Pats.

More interest in the combine players means more scouts at BC's Pro Day means more exposure for non-combine invites at BC's Pro Day.

do they award green participation labels?

One year I'd like to see a chimpanzee or a gorilla participate, just to see how humanity's best athletes really stack up. It's important to know if Planet of the Apes is a real possibility.

Luckily Fox already beat you to this.

I like how the zebra starts taunting as it pulls away in the end.

I think it is a little bit unfair that the Giraffe or the Zebra didn't get an interview.

Yup Alex was invited to Combine, but turned it down as he wants to join the US Navy and be a Seal.

Look at them sideburns! He looks like a girl. Now, Johnny Unitas, there's a haircut you could set your watch to.

Here is the article about Alex hoping to become a Navy SEAL.

Anyone know someone who didn't make it through the training? I always wondered about those guys....you sign up to become a warrior and then you end up doing...what? I think they end up doing whatever the Navy needs at the time like cooks, etc.

And now the Herald is saying, not to fast.

[QuailMan]

Is there an age limit on being a Navy Seal? Couldn't he try to make an NFL roster for a year, then join if he fails?

[apbc12]

I believe the limit is 28 as of entry into the program, but I also believe it's fairly clear this is just what he wanted to do, not something he's doing because he didn't think he'd make a roster.

No, I didn't! And now I feel silly. Thanks a lot for making me feel silly, QuailMan. Maybe you should feel silly for wearing a belt on your head. Ever think of that, smart guy?

ESPN Boston states that Amidon was working out at Pro Day, so apparently keeping his options open.

Link? I couldn't find the story.
He could have been there helping Retig.

So AW improved on his 40 time from the combine at pro day yesterday. 29 scouts turned out to watch him, KPL, Patchan and Ramsey. Freese also got a "tryout" with the Colts' special teams coach. More here.
