2011 NFL Combine Day 2

 

RB Noel Devine UP

Devine is up 19 pounds from the 160 he was listed at when he weighed in at The Senior Bowl about a month ago. He needed bulk, but how did he gain 19 pounds in a month? That’s a lot of cheetos. We’ll see how he runs in a few days. For now, I’m raising his stock.

RB Jordan Todman UP

Nice job getting over 200, 203. Most feature backs are in the 200s in the NFL and Todman was in the 180-190s at UCONN.

OT Nate Solder DOWN

He’s bigger at 319 pounds than he was listed during the season, but after only benching 21 reps, there are some concerns about his bulk. That, along with his lack of experience at tackle, is his biggest concern, as he is a former run blocking tight end.

OT Tyron Smith UP

Proving those extra pounds weren’t just “empty calories” Smith benched 29 reps today.

G Marcus Cannon UP

After measuring in at a cut 358 pounds (down from 370) on Thursday, Cannon listed 33 reps of 225 today.

OT Chris Hairston UP

Hairston also put up 33 reps and had a very impressive 6-6 326 on Thursday. He’s looking to prove himself as a mid round right tackle prospect.

 

OT Derek Sherrod DOWN

He put on 10-15 pounds since the end of the season, not necessarily a bad thing, to bring him to 6-5 321. However, after only 23 reps today, he doesn’t look in shape.

G Lee Ziemba DOWN

One of today’s low men, Ziemba only managed 20 reps at 6-6 317. He struggled in the Senior Bowl and might be just a guard prospect. He’s looking like a mid day 3 guy now.

TE Rob Housler UP

Proving that his extra weight was no joke, Housler put up 22 reps at 6-5 248 today.

TE Lance Kendricks UP

Size has been his biggest flaw so coming in at 6-3 243, rather than in the 240s, and then putting 25 reps has really helped him.

WR AJ Green DOWN

Not a huge knock him, but I was expecting his hands to be bigger than 9 ¼.

WR Torrey Smith DOWN

In addition to his inconsistent production, Smith also has 8 5/8 inch hands. His speed will land him in th 2nd, but he’s still a 3rd round prospect in my book.

RB Shane Vereen UP

Trying to prove he can handle the load, Vereen has bulked up to 210, from the low 200s. This is helpful.

RB John Clay DOWN

230’s a good weight for him, after being 245-250 during the season. He’s in better shape, but still big enough to be a situational rusher.
